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.

The nest tree just before IR came on and made a weird white blob:

Thank you, Jill I do usually know Mallards but these kind of scenes are waiting for my new specs, and it's going to be a long wait.

A brief semi-zoom on the nest tree before Heather set off on her rounds:

Plus, per Heather: "Chris is the person who created and runs our website".
Even I haven't got the cheek to download it and "enhance" it in any way
Some beautiful scenes on the Landscapes page.
Yesterday late afternoon:
That was after a day of very broken-up streams - not only affecting Glaslyn but also my SoCal owl cavity - must've been a server playing up?
This morning, early:
