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.

It's a relief to learn that you have a weakness, dear Korky

Aran flew fuzzily in to the nest around 04:45, stayed a couple of minutes, back 15-20 minutes later, not for long. Those were the last sightings I found on the nest, there were 2-3 on distant trees.
A corvid flew off just before he arrived, he stood on the nest and gradually disappeared out of the bottom of the picture, so no idea how long he stayed.
Two little birds:
And a mystery animal who only got smaller until disappearing into the trees:

Aran just flew in with chirp.
Intruder(s) on nest...
My blinking internal network has gone down so I can't access screen captures at the mo, but Z1 is definitely a culprit.
