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.

Mistle Thrush this morning, heard but hardly seen:
From 10:00 to 16:30 the footage I have is hard to navigate so I've given up. Good luck for tomorrow (thanks for the report, MIKE).
Birdies LG DU update.

You did your best, Mike - to no avail, but I got there eventually
EDIT - Forgot to say - I had 2 big internet outages this morning while I wasn't on duty, so lost a lot of footage anyway.
Kind regards, Ann
More big internet outages today and overnight - I know it isn't my central heating boiler or microwave, but one starts to wonder about near neighbours' appliances or other malign intrusions when one's ISP says "no problems in your area"... but eventually, after a test, a popup says "there's a problem with our service, please bear with us". If I'd taken their word for "no problems" and not proceeded with a test, I'd be tearing my hair out trying to identify the source of the problem.
Sorry for the misplaced rant.
No Glaslyn live stream at the mo.
