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 chicks - hardly edited and I haven't got time to watch all the way thru.
Aran:
Glad to see cam back and chicks doing well
.Awful news. Everything crossed for #3 now. Thanks for letting us know AG.
The impression I got (on this very sad, yet another very sad morning) is that #3 isn't looking "right" at all. Almost as if there's a nervious system problem. But that's just me viewing on rollback, distracted by frustration because I didn't start up the stream on time.
Please let me know what you think, I really would appreciate some feedback and others' sensible views
I'll keep checking for more views of #3.
