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.

The Mistle Thrushes are here
We had a squirrel early this morning - no zoom tho:
See how the plumage varies:
And what a lovely back view of this one:
No sightings since this from Heather this morning:
She wonders if Z2 was over Pont Croesor but they were unable to get a look at the ring.

Haha! I found him all by myself
.
There a good chance that after he flew he was found in the same place that SHEILA & I were tormented by yesterday or the day before.
Yay, Aran is still here and in the same spot as yesterday (thanks Scylla)
09:05 Heather Corfield Aran is still with us today. He is on the A498 tree with a fish.
Two hours ago, give or take, Heather reported the above, and zoomed to this view, so this is the A498 tree! I'm not sure where the road is though.
This is now and after a pause he is tucking into the fish again
