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.

I counted 4 when they all deigned to gather, but you may have to take my word for it
You're worse at deigning than the Mistle Thrushes, MIKE - aren't we good enough for you any more?
Lotsa little birdies in the tree - I can'tstop to get the very best view but may do a tiny vid later:
Untouched live snap (the previous was a touched live snap ;) )

Just so you can see there were quite a few:
This one was lying down on the perch!
MC. Great shots. Just caught this one of four of them similar to your earlier one.

Birdies LG DU update.
A Chaffinch foraged near the base of the perch but was discouraged by a Mistle Thrush's head:

I got that one but I think I copied it to clipboard and didn't paste it into pic prog, and now I can't find the dang thing. I was trying to catch up with the SoCal cam for 2 days/nights because I'd been neglecting them, but the Glaslyn birds decided to digress me big time
