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.

IMAGICAT
It's a bright, colourful morning with some mist blanket remaining at this time. I haven't done any trawling yet.
I don't know if there are birds here or not:
A fox, but rather distant - and a Jay flyby at the end:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
This Magpie (heehee, I typed Nagpie) fluttered up 'n down more like a Lapwing (it couldn't have been, could it?):
I'm waiting for Heather to return to Chat and answer my Q about the ID of this nest:
EDITING IN Heather:

As per title "Life goes on" - a few scenes cobbled together - puffer train with horses running ahead, a Robin, a Heron, the river.
