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.

How much later can I get? Sorry chaps, it was such a difficult day here yesterday, I only got halfway thru but it's allowed me to add on MrsG coming in to roost:
28 July
They spent some time together on the nest early this morning, Aran did quite a bit of mantling and brought stuff in, couldn't see what, they've both been gone "for some time".
absolutely terrific Scylla. Sorry about your difficult day yesterday. Had one of those myself I've become a luddite. Loved the video and have downloaded it for myself and intend to send it to Zilpha ,
It is Patily. Wonderful to see them together and 'still around' - typical bloke Aran (they do need a project, don't they.)
