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.

Love the story about your Nuthatch, GB. I've never seen a nuthatch in my garden, sadly.
The fieldfare were back on Friday morning in abundance. Probably nearly 200, flitting from tree to tree. I rarely see redwing, but there were at least two amongst the flock and some starling. The latter is also pretty rare. they've not been in today, but I have plenty of berries on two large cotoneaster to feed on!
It's a calmer day today with a hint of sunshine behind thin cloud
Earlier the cam zoomed in to a feeding swan
Bottoms up!
