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.

Thank you, MIKE, for the cam news.
Thank you, VALERIE, for the (((KC4))) news.
Thank you, CIRRUS, for the wrong-thread heads-up - I posted this in Poole Harbour, it's from Tuesday:
Dull, rainy, windy days continue.
The nest is looking ready for residents in the evening glow:
The Mistle Thrush is still around, here's a short clip from a 10-minute singsong (but it was silent for a few minutes at the end):
Fuzzy Robin in the bottom corner - Heather didn't know it was there (due to other duties, I think) so it never got zoomed on so I cropped it:

Squirrel had a fuzzy brief forage before daycam:
Mistle Thrush sang on the perch for 4 minutes this morning, with some unseen birdies chipping in at times. Unusually, it was out of sync, I think I've corrected it, plus 'cleaned' the background noise a bit.
Our solitary swan ws much in evidence, there were a couple of "ducks" briefly, but I didn't find any must-do snaps.
