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 end of a one-and-a-half hour non-stop preen - I think she may have had another dip, but not as thorough as the last one I showed:
Interrupted meal - there followed a long time of "empty" cam - MIKE may know what occurred, he keeps in touch with Chat.
Another disturbance in the evening but it ended up idyllic
Very little on-cam activity so far today - and Aran hasn't been seen at all (according to Chat, where I made a special trip to eavesdrop).
MrsG was about to eat some fish on the nest:
Excellent blog from Glaslyn…
