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 for the reports, RICHARD & ALISON. Exciting!
Today I lost a lot due to cam outage but recorded some from rollback - here was Aran, then an aeroplane making a big noise.
As reported in the video, Heather noted MrsG clutching a flounder skin resembling a dish-cloth... then the cam went down again @ 01:39.

Aran was on the nest at startup less than half an hour ago - he flew soon after:
I recorded that from rollback with Windows "XBox Game Bar", a built-in app that I never knew existed till yesterday so I'm experimenting with it. It has shortcomings but if you just want to record whole screen it's very convenient.
He's back - not sure how long he's been there, I'm busy researching brinjal pickles - my non-osprey life involves food.
He'd brought a small stick and shifted around some nest material. Gone again now.
Many thanks for the updates, Scylla. The cam must have gone down again after your snaps, but returned at 10.20 with the VC reporting
10:20 Bywyd Gwyllt Glaslyn Wildlife Aran is on the A498 tree with a fish, which is why Mrs G was food soliciting when she came to the nest.
