I'm not allowing for your on-the-ballness, SHEILA, and have just come alive after a nap and gone to great trouble to do a "discovery of Aran" snap:

No sighting of Aran this morning, so far. 2015, his first year at Glaslyn, he left on 25 September. But he only arrived on 30 April. I think last year he left 12 September. So the question is, has he now left?
Birdie's DU Summaries 2018
Good noon, SHEILA - I've been working on Starr Ranch SoCal all morning, we have a little snake in the barn owl cavity (no owls in residence) and the cams are... oh never mind.
Anyway, I thought I'd check Chat and here to see what you had to say - good luck to Heather finding Aran on-cam

How wonderful for your niece, Patily!! Someone heading south from Scotland, no doubt.
Aran is still on the River Tree, not very obvious, with his back to us.

Very considerately, Aran turned round! Just as I came back to the cam I had time to capture him - he had a poo and flapped and he turned round. A flew minutes later a flock of small birds flew up from the tree/bush in front of Aran's roost tree, but beyond the pine tree.
A flap and a turn-around
A small flock of small birds, chat suggested possibly goldfinch which makes sense, took off, but not captured
and off he goes at about 17.15
15:14 Heather Corfield He has been around since 13.40 this afternoon, he was on A498 tree to begin with eating a fish. Then moved here at 14.11 when he had finished eating.
There was a disturbance when Aran flew - lots of little birds emerged from a tree, it looked as tho a bigger bird disturbed them - not Aran, his fly-off was coincidental, IMHO.
Aran is still looking good - if from a rather long distance
