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.

Only started less than half an hour before this snap, the scene remained on here the whole time, I just managed to catch a fly-off:
And now our lovey-dovey couple is on the nest:
Well they were, but she just flew.
ENS at the mo.
Scuse me while I go back a day for some portraits and a vid.

How the weather changed!
This was unusual - Aran with his afternoon tea - I thought he dropped his fish but on closer examination he'd not been happy with it, had spat out some morsels and then deliberated tipped the fish off the perch, plonk!

That was indeed rather unusual! The fish looked somewhat less than fresh.
