The season so far: Mrs G arrived back 25 March and Aran on 1 April. Mrs G laid 3 eggs 13, 16 and 19 April hatching 19, 21 and 24 May. Mrs G and Aran continue to work hard to raise their young and Aran is once more proving to be an excellent provider bringing in plenty of fish to feed his family.

I was frozen from yesterday evening :o
Breakfish:
MrsG and Aran were very watchful for some time:
Eventually Aran gave chase, the cam found someone in the sky but who knows who it was?
KA4 slapped KA0 on the head:
No offence taken:
All's well:
Except for spiderworks!

Birdies LG DU update.
What super pics have been posted, thank you. I love Aran!
I have just come across a Glaslyn FB post from last night, and a vid about him - sweeet!
A few weeks ago we noticed that Aran appeared to be making food soliciting calls on the perch. A couple of minutes later he flew across to the nest and picked up the fish that was alongside Mrs G and the chicks. At the time we joked that Aran was asking Mrs G permission to take the fish. We have observed this behaviour a few times since and we feel sure that Aran is communicating with Mrs G when he wants to eat some of the fish he has caught. He did it again a couple of days ago.
We would love to know your thoughts on this behaviour?

I could hear the boing when I was posting above, looked at Webcam and the operator was positioning the camera to show Aran on the perch also. Top marks to Glaslyn, they must be the most responsive Cam Operators of them all.
