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.

Christmas Day was a good cam day, stability-wise, but a dull almost birdless day otherwise. Our solo Swan was up 'n down the river a lot but there was only one 7-second half-zoom and only 1 second where we could just see his face:
Boxing Day Part 1
Hasty snaps, some possibly with downsizing forgotten, just to show there were critters about.
No zoom, in was early - so I've done my best with a misty shot:
Geese? They strained the cam to its limit:
This one flew just as Heather was getting a handle on it:
This one was left behind - absolutely no idea what it was:
Query Starlings?
That's up to 14:45.
This morning just before daycam-proper kicked in the squirrel spent several minutes grooming and scratching, then off down the far side of the nest:
