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.

The Terrible Twenty-second in 35 clips
We don't usually see Osprey cams switched off when difficult periods occur - but I'm very puzzled not to find news anywhere. Maybe Heather did it because she was going off duty and didn't want uncontrolled Chat contributions in her absence? (I should add, they are able to shut down Chat on its own.) It was quite settled at that time.
I've got the Glaslyn YT Channel page on 10-minute refreshes, should see if the cam comes back online.
There is a post on Glaslyn Facebook page with an update. Sorry I can’t do a link at the present time.

Thanks Jane & Richard
Here is a link to the "latest Glaslyn Nest Update" on their website
Live stream remains temporarily suspended however Mrs G has kept the chicks warm and dry and Aran has returned to the nest albeit fishless.
This is just awful but fingers crossed Aran can go fishing and things right themselves here.
