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.

Coal Tit spent 6+ minutes foraging - I didn't see it land because it was between sessions:
A brief spell of thin snowflakes swept by the wind:
Birdies LG DU update.
Link restored www.youtube.com/watch It seems that power is an issue at protection so no sound.
No change to the URL but I had taken it off auto so missed the whole morning - however, rollback has only found me distant views of Egret and Swan, looks like we didn't miss much. Hardly any history on Chat.
Kind regards, Ann

Typical! I can only repeat "What a lovely thing to do"

I don't know if this damage was caused by Storm Arwen but it must be likely. It looks pretty rotten, maybe it's an unwelcome message to fund-raisers
