March thread.
This post updated 01 June
MrsG returned on the 25th of March and was joined by Aran on the 29th.
(The beginning of the reunion video is a must-see for all fans of MrsG - I'm posting it today 01 June, to remind us of a happy time before the tragedies of May 2021.)
The month of May brought unrelenting wind, rain and corvids, as well as persistent intruder KS8 (among others) - and Aran somehow injured his right wing, rendering him unable to fish. Within a few days all the chicks had sickened and died. It could hardly have been more stressful for MrsG and Aran, but they are recovering together while the caring Glaslyn team is supplying fish each night.
(The chicks' bodies have been removed from the nest by Aran and MrsG, so we shall never know the cause of their deaths.)
In the right margin of this page are links to Glaslyn's posts documenting the misfortunes on the nest.

While you are waiting for the official version - here's mine.
The cam was dreadful, freezing and skipping all the time - so I re-recorded some of it from rollback but it was bad there too, so I only used mine. Also worked on the sound but that's only marginally improved, what with the raging wind. Hopefully Glaslyn will have better.
Also, there was a lot of zooming etc, which caused some action to be missed.
KS8 was amazingly aggressive - including passive-aggressive, I'd say, and utterly determined - and hungry, she did fly off with the fish-piece in the end.
