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.

This morning, just for a minute:
Little flies(?) - they were on the cam for hours, way into nightcam:
The insects are still on the nest this morning, they'd been there all night - but we can't see them so starkly.
Two squirrels mated (I'm only up to about 07:50):
Can't help wondering if this was worth the effort - which no doubt you will too
Early-ish birds today:
The cam moved on without waiting to see how the corv got on:
Buzzard flying off, having perched for a while:
Our solitary swan:
A blurry token to show some visiting ducks:
Birdies LG DU update.
Whatever are these persistent insects?
I'm packing up now.
Mike B said:MC and all. Message re live stream tomorrow.
Thank you, Mike :)
Not a lot to report today. I didnt recognise these silhouetted birds:
Our Heron failed on this attempt - we didn't hang around to see if s/he had better luck later:
Kind regards, Ann
