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.

Just a short clip of the Nuthatch, a bit longer of the Heron and visitors/ (I had big wifi problems yesterday, I think laptop-related rather than internet generally.)
I was very sorry to read Gardenbirder/Ann's post on the death of a Glaslyn volunteer. Clearly he will be much missed by the team.
Today's flood scene - at least the wind has dropped today

Further to Gardenbirder/Ann's Post above on the sad news of the death of John Parry Williams, Glaslyn has written a lovely blog about him, www.glaslynwildlife.co.uk/.../ Sorry, I'm on my tablet so no posh link.

I've got severe dropout problems with most of my downloads and cannot work out why - so just a few snaps today.
A very misty morning! This early bird was probably a Nuthatch and there were two, plus I think a different small bird lower down the perch:
This engine was pushing (the low brown bits at the front) and pulling:
