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.

I lost the stream several times thru buffering and changing, I did vids from screen-capture and download, both were glitchy.
Overnight, all of a sudden, I got daycam and this delightful view appeared - no idea when it was so I had to take the timeline off - Aran had a fish:
04:57 MrsG had a flyabout but only one osplet lifted its head for a second:
She just had a fidget and lifted a bit but only one could be seen.

Great news Scylla, and two great videos - thank you! Have given them a like and posted the links on Adam's site. Is this two-for-one hatching a record for Mrs G? What a wonder she is, remarkable old bird!
