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 had a number of outages besides the main one that req'd a new URL.
The solo Swan and the Little & Large Egrets have been around.
Buzzard got pestered by corvids, but nothing serious: The cam went down and the scene had changed to the river when it came back up:
Repairs continue right up to nightcam:

I've had several stream drop-outs today but no new URL req'd. Don't know how much is missing.
Thanks for the hide info, GB & MIKE - good to know that some of it, at least, will live on

Early this morning someone on Chat was hoping that the high waters would bring back Whooper swans and Egrets - looks like they did, this was about 08:00;
I shan't be catching up till later.
But forgot to add the "more rain before noon" snap"
