patily said:I am sooo sad at the non eturn of Aran and Mrs G apparently abandoning her nest of 18 years
A heartfelt "ditto", PATILY
Someone on Chat reported a brief touchdown on the nest this morning but I haven't found it - found 2 Blue Tit forages - my, they do work so hard! I know it's not significant for us at this time, but one must honour all the dear birds doing what they gotta do

Got it! Looks like Aeron - if it's not a new visitor. A hardly-seen Raven, by the sound of it, wouldn't allow the Osprey to settle
The cam was focused on an empty PC nest. There was a brief loud intruder chipping coming from the main Glaslyn nest, but by the time the case was back there the nest was empty. Heather then posted on Chat:
15:53 Heather Corfield LJ2 has been back on the Glaslyn nest.

Mrs G landed and a blooming crow is back. The crow tried to take one of the sticks from the top right of the nest. Cheeky!
Crow got bored and left

16.14 the blooming crow has returned. Sky dancing continued 16.15
Crow attempts to take the sticks again! Mrs G says 'no'
Edit 16.19 Crow has left, sky dancing has stopped. She keeps looking up.
16.20 More enthusiastic sky dancing
16.21 "Who's sky dancing up there?"
16.27 the calling continues!
Apparently LLJ2 is back at Brenig, so it's not him.
16.29 cam is having a look in the sky, but found nothing.
16.30 Calling has stopped and Mrs G has flown
16.31 Cam searching the skies again, briefly
