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.

Thank you, ALISON & RICHARD - I've posted corrections. I did think it looked small but had digressed from whatever nest I was "doing" at the time and it didn't penetrate at all

Quote Chat BGGW VC:
Aran is on the A498 tree. No sign of Mrs G today so far. There have been no positive sightings of her since Thursday, although we have had a few possible sightings of her over Pont Croesor.
26/27 July Thru the night with MrsG & marmalised fish (and a spider an a bat):
(I did call it a flounder but am not so sure it wasn't a spread out unflat fish.)
When I started that, MrsG was still on the perch

There ought to be something wrong with it - YT processed it so fast :o
Heather thinks the internet must have dropped out.
New URL.
Cam is working for me now. Thanks for the vid of Mrs G, Scylla. Heather has confirmed....

There was skydancing reported yesterday as well but I could hardly hear it, if at all.
Within the last few minutes MrsG has been on the perch with fish and Aran has been on the nest - intruder-repelling. Could have been Ravens.
