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

He didn't wait !?

KS3 is still munching. I wonder what happened to the second fish and, more mysteriously, to KS2? Do you think that Aran might have spied him in a tree and taken it to him? But surely KS2 would have come to the nest :-/
I'd love to think he did, Scylla!
What a wonderful resume, thank you!

Cam's been down for a while, possibly the usual evening power problem.
We won't get to see KS3 finishing her fish.
Back up, but too late, and another fish snaffled:
Good morning, it's been another rough night, no-one seen yet this morning. I'm off to sleep, SYAL :)
Well, 'lo Scylla, they won't have left in this weather , doubt it anyway. But .... it was nice enough to have set off yesterday pm so we'll have to see, sigh. sleep well.
Good Morning CIRRUS Sad time of year and 6/7 months worrying about them and then the nail-biting time wondering who will return and ectasy when they do
