  • Thanks, COLIN.

    Oh noooo !!! :'(

    MrsG is being attacked - yes, attacked! - by a Raven - no!  I am reliably informed it's a CROW.  Thanks for passing that on, MIKE :)

    It obviously senses vulnerability :'(

    I'll do a video later, if poss, but I did have some browser interference :(

  • Just been reading back about how things developed after the earlier dive-bombingattack. So it was Tegid!  If Aran drives off all the males, even around the PC nest, what hope is there for 5F ever getting a mate?

    Another thing I am not clear about Why had Mrs G not eaten since Tuesday as Ems posted and from Mike's conversation with Heather, does that mean she was able to feed yesterday?

    A few minutes ago poor Mrs G being harassed by this crow It tried to drive her off the eggs several times and Mrs G was forced to respond much like Aran yesterday with Tegid It seems to have got the message now

    Hi Sandra
    Can I just clarify the information about the Pont Croesor nest (from BGGW blog)
    Just to get the facts clear.
    The camera on the Pont Croesor nest (5F) failed last year.
    This year the owner of the nest, (who is not the land owner, but another person.) Refused permission to replace the camera.
    BGGW can only observe 5F from their visitor centre with telescopes.

    Not wanting to start any arguments, just getting the facts clear to people.

    Absolutely, thank you Colin

  • OMG , yes attack is the word Scylla and yes, a flippin Raven too - big beak there. Dare I ask where Aran is ? any more attacks from Tegig?

    5F was seen far from Glaslyn within the last few days.

     Thanks Tiger, appreciate your response

  • I'm having trouble with the Raven video, maybe corruptions somewhere :(

    MrsG just had a flyabout, eggs OK while she was gone for the short time.
  • MrsG's been rained on now :(

    Starting back before 04:00, to make sure Aran hasn't been seen:

    MrsG got some shut-eye:

    Later she was very alert:

    When camperson came on duty s/he went looking for Aran:

    (snaps in wrong order, too bad)

         

    MrsG already calling at or for:

    Crow "attack", and cheeky blighter pinched a morsel:

  • MrsG just had another short flyabout.

    Camperson was focused very close on something...

    (BTW, it's Windows Updates messing every thing up.  Two down and 3 to go.)

  • Is it just me or is anybody else a bit anxious at the moment.
    There seems to be an acute lack of fish and she seems to be very much alone.

  • I am very worried RICHARD I keep looking in to see if there is any more hopeful news
