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 brings Mrs G a large trout at 11.04am and this year's breeding season begins

VLC is freezing.
KS1 now moved from the nest to the perch with her fish.
Intruder alarms have been going on for a while. (I'm doing catchup from lunchtime, when I logged on.)
Intruder calls still being heard up to a minute ago.
Here was KS1 waiting on the perch - one thing led to another and I thought it would make a nice tribute before she leaves us :-*
Eventually she got her fish, and it was a feisty one which Aran made sure she had a-hold of before he flew ;)
Scylla, Have you seen my post on the previous page? Answers your question about why these chicks are not all ringed in age order.
Kind regards, Ann
