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.

Cam back up - NEW LINK.
I'm hearing bees.
EDIT - I've changed the link because the cam's been back down and back up a couple of times... I think. Anyway, that one is current @ 18:30.
Interesting blog from Rebecca at Glaslyn on KS8's visit.

I was just going to post it but you beat me to it, AG :)
Very interesting. Looking back at the 5F Seren defence - MrsG was 4 years younger then, so I was glad to see Glaslyn's analysis of motivations this time, I had been thinking "she's getting to be an old lady, not fit enough to defend like she used to".
I am clearing away some of the footage that's inundated me over the last few days and can't remember what day this was. It's just a snippet
