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.

If only I kept up with Chat, Heather & mods might have said something about it at the time.
That was only up to noon - there were lots of waterfowl up to then but nothing much thereafter.

There was I, struggling to get a good shot of the white stuff (I'd probably call it spume, come to think of it)...
...When Heather suddenly zoomed right in on it - it was shape-changing and moving around for hours:
Then this little "duck" swam right thru it:
Look at these beauties,....( Not as good as your pics though.....

Wow! I've never seen them there

Oh don't say that, or even think it! It's my compulsion to tart up snaps but I don't mean to put anyone else off posting them au naturel

Such beauties, too! I've got around to them at last - I do hope they are "bulls"!
Then later I found one in its more usual place:
'Spume' , yep. I'd call it that too Scylla
