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.

Nuthatches were back on the perch, same activity, rain 'n shine - but I didn't do another vid.
Our Heron wasn't doing much fishing but may have found something here:

Nearly all the birds who appeared on the cam - it was a very pale and misty day and even now you may think I've included one or two who are too distant:

23 October - a miserable day:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Forgot to join up my clips for the 24th! No improvement in the weather, hardly any nice zooms but we did try to follow a Buzzard struggling fuzzily to find food - and I wonder who the black birds were?
Cor! What a battle to get the volume down on this one, I think MovieMaker refuses to replace old with new:
"Sorry" about all the Nuthatches, but they've bothered to turn out for us so they deserve our attention

There should be a law that they report to Chat on their mission:
Later, back in mufti?
I didn't find any more "good" birdie views.
27 October was so miserable I couldn't even spot a Nuthatch - but Nutkin bravely (desperately?) started off the day:
Did you spot the freeloaders on the steam engine? A couple of these require a fertile imagination
