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.

Unknown said:Scylla, I just read that Mrs G slipped off the perch in her first attempt to land with that fish--manage to scroll back to watch it before the 12 hour limit.
I haven't found that, GardenBirder, but here's what I did find - arrival, summat stuck on beak (I had thought she had a runny nose, from a snap I took earlier), Aran flew in - to protect? he stayed till daycam made its attempts to engage

Aran just arrived on the nest, flapping and looking left 'n right.
Now on the far side of the nest looking out away from us, towards the mist.
MrsG was on the nest just now, and she's now on the perch in the dusky light.
I've just started an afternoon vid, will attend to this later.
scylla said: later.
Afternoon/evening - but you may think I shouldn't have bothered:
No-one on the perch.
