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.

Aran was spotted very early this morning by Heather/Glaslyn
Here he is now, enjoying a fish with his beloved shouting in his earole from afar - one 'o my hasty live snaps, so be grateful, it's been a terrible tech day here

Managed to get MrsG off one of the bad downloads in the morning, this is about one-tenth of the whole picture:

I can't precisely remember the 04 June morning but don't think we saw MrsG or Aran - we certainly didn't in the 5-and-a-half hours up to shutdown, unless it was a far-distant shot where I can't pick out anyone.
