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]
Friday 6th April
Aran brings Mrs G a large trout at 11.04am and this year's breeding season begins

Is that KS3 on the perch?
Kind regards, Ann
Yep, now I've seen the ring--KS3
KS3 to nest and away, now someone's landed on the perch - her again? Too distant at the mo.
We're in the buffering phase now.

On reaching the second fish delivery I went back to correct my earlier post but I won't bother, I'll quote you instead, VALERIE ;) Thank you!
Valerie D said: KS2 got the well deserved fish Scylla and just after Aran flew off KS3 arrived on the perch

What a relief!
That's it as far as ospreys go for tonight - bats have been flitting but nothing spectacular has caught my eye, unless they peered at us while I was out of the room ;)
Close, but not completely in the picture. We can see little "fangs", tho ???
