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 duck's just polluted the river I am confident that it is a teal/pochard hybrid
Jackdaw was ruined by the rain, we weren't focused on it for long before it flew:
The 2 ponies who were frightened by the train 2-3 weeks ago? Marmalised by auto-adjusted colours:
This is what the same button did to this one:
Late in the day:
The cam went down around 13:30. I'm packing up so won't have it for the rest of the day even if it's back up within minutes.

Always good news to get feedback from you, Richard
I did get an ounce of new knowledge - dabblers and dippers! And I thought there was a third one but can't find it now, maybe it was divers, am sure it was a D.
Look what Google said when I searched for Grebe:
They must even have read this thread

EDIT - Oh heck, I didn't realise I'd already started the new link ages ago, you wouldn't believe the train of events trying to cancel the duplicate has set off

Kracking Kapture scylla. They're also bully boys and girls on the feeders, sending all the other birds packing

I'm shocked!
Heather (IIRC) thought they were eating pine cone seeds.
