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.

EDIT - I typed that and posted the snap hours ago!
But then the screen froze and became shaded over for a while, it's recovered now.

30 May
I'm clearing up yesterday's downloads and got OCD with videos of MrsG and Aran.
A rather long one from when MrsG returned from a dip and dried out on the perch, mostly with Aran:
And then the evening light, cropped Aran's head for a bit, and he was cheeping:
31st not yet checked, I may not get around to it.

When was that, OLAF? The time you posted was before the live stream was due to come online, was it early? I didn't get started until very late anyway, but I would have done a video if I had it

I completely forgot it was the first of the month coming up. Taking the line of least resistance, I'm extending the existing thread.
