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.

Thanks, CATLADY
The cam went down around 12:15, just when it was too late for Heather to call in and fix it. This may be one that has to wait for Judith to be available, don't ask me how it works but she is sometimes in the vicinity...
A token:
Yes, most definitely a Robin - they'll sing by lamplight quite often. such a 'tremulous' song , I think. Thank you Scylla.
New LINK, thanks to Judith again.
A bit of the new hide, coming along:
Cam has been fixed on the river.

Yesterday
Little & Large - no, one was not chasing the other, and Large soon flew off.
This morning I managed to find owl calls reported @ 05:30 - usually I can't hear them. I'm not familar enough with Tawnies to decide if the little shrieks are them:
Kingfisher this morning:
Not a bad-looking morning, plenty of sheep out and the birds were singing again:
Cam was back up about 50 minutes ago with a NEW URL.
