Sunday 1st April
Mrs G returns just after 2pm (time to be confirmed)
Thursday 5th April
On two separate occasions, Rutland-born female, Blue 3J, and Scottish male, Blue HR7, visit the nest. HR7 was seen around Glaslyn last year, Mrs G seems comfortable with him and they later mate.
Later in the evening there is an unringed male osprey on the scene, who looks very much like Aran. When he lands on the Glaslyn nest with the remains of a fish there is no mantling and no attempt to share the fish with Mrs G
[This male is later confirmed to be Aran]

Aran looking beautiful

Very handsome indeed ALISON
Let's hope there's still someone around to be memorialised on my "official" recordings (taken over from LG).
Too many flounders, Aran - they do't like them!
I'll have to label this beauty later, when I've had chance to check it out :)
EDIT - Still KS3.
Aran's back with the flounder (what's left of it!) again, after begging from the nest - but KS3 still isn't taking it.
KS3 has just taken the fish and is screeching, Aran about to leave? Picking at nest... flown.
Our final osprey of the day?
The Ravens have since claimed the fish... one bit's tucked down the side and another has been flown off with.
Camera down. Blue screen and Axis logo.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good Morning MIKE
