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.

16:22 Heather Corfield Mrs G is still eating the fish she caught this morning. Aran chased away an intruder at 14.13 and returned with a fish at 15.38. He is now on the oak perches with Mrs G eating it.
Edit 17.10..They are clearly still having problems. The latest comment from Heather
17.00 Heather Corfield We won't be changing the camera this weekend as we possibly have an issue with our router.
But better we have one camera than no camera at all!

Glaslyn have just got back on line.
(It's sooo looong since I done a table I forgot how to do it, muddled thru in the end.)
Well I downloaded the hour that it was online but the only activity was a blow'd-over stick (very windy), but when I did a collage of that it looked like a non-event.
We try.

Dang, I read your post but missed that bit - hence have only just started the download since checking the Channel. On Chat someone says Aran came in early and shifted a stick - I bet it was that one that got blow'd yesterday
