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.

The widowed Mute Swan (99% sure). I wanted to do an FF of it up 'n down, up 'n down - but it would have taken so very long to save the original clip and Pacific Black Duck had made such a mess of my downloads while I slept... I just don't have time
I think this was the couple - one preening 'n pooping:

Repeat of the evening sunset and moon views, then the cam went down overnight.
Birdies LG DU update.

I haven't seen anything about it for a day or two, Patily.
