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've missed all the Chat pre-mid-afternoon :((( when VALERIE reported a Grebe - if I find (recognise!) it, it will be in the next 6-hour clip.
Morning:

Here's a GSW - there was also a Great Tit on the fat balls but I had to leave it out due to lack of liaison:
Flyers - unusually at 2 o'clock in the morning:
27 September up to 08:50.
I can't tell why the perch was zoomed on...
...and I can't see what bird this was, it was dwelt on for quite a while but no closer than this.

It was probably a Buzzard - it took off and sailed downwards but didn't reach the ground before going out of sight.

The group of 3 and the solitary Swan have been around today, but not in good focus.
