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.

Celebrating a dry (as in "not raining") but misty morning on the dear "old" cam...
First in was the Nuthatch, almost faded out on the perch for nearly 2 minutes:
Then a Coal Tit, for less than a minute:

Yes I know, Richard - that was a momentary shot where it suddenly "rounded up" and stood out against the background, I'd have had to do a video to show its Nuthatchiness.

What a pale day, if you this this is fuzzy you shoulda seen the original. Last year we got a much better view of the migratory swans (Whoopers?) but can't even see their bills clearly this year.
I couldn't ID the bird that comes after the Buzzard.
Kind regards, Ann

A bit hefty for a yellow-line painter?

Thank you, GB, I might not even have noticed it. I've done an Unlisted tribute for you/us, just to memorialise him:
(Scuse the faux Welsh font, it's Celtic-like anyway.)
I copied a few lines from Glaslyn's FB in the Description panel.
