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.

A quickie from this morning - Great Tits (definitely not Coalies!):
Birdies LG DU update.
Mike B said:the clarity is even better.
Someone on Chat said (paraphrased) "I like this cam better than the 4K at this time", so it must be the "old" cam.
I've missed some hours since the cams came back up but nothing significant, as far as I can see.
Fuzzy Nuthatch found something to eat on the perch.
My caption that it was too early for zoom was wrong, it was nearly noon I reckon. Sorry. But we didn't have a zoom anyway so it's a fuzzy crop.
Not a lot going on today - I abandoned a squirrel video due to insufficient activity:
Kind regards, Ann
Mike B said:MC. Heather has found Mandarin Duck . Great LS footage 2 18 onwards.
Huh! For a starter, you know dang well we have no timeline And for seconds, oh boy what a noisy busy day!
Also, it was rather pale and misty, I've done my best to clarify, plus the volume had to be reduced overall so I've learned something new, so that made up for all the toil but I didn't do well with the Mandarins
