Aran flew off. He did attempt to mate her before leaving but she didn't raise her tail
Mrs G went to the perch (20:23ish). Hello beautiful lady!
After flying off a little earlier, Mrs G came back to the nest at 21:28ish
At present, she is on the perch again. Home to roost?
From chat:
9:24 PMHeather CorfieldWe are pretty sure it was 014 though as she seemed determined to get Mrs G off the nest. Although Mrs G was pretty keen to stay on it.
9:25 PMHeather CorfieldIt was quite amusing to watch the two boys sitting on their own nest perches waiting for the girls this afternoon though. They were keeping out of it if possible.
Edited in comments from chat
9:34 PMHeather CorfieldThere is an osprey at Pont Croesor but it is difficult to see who as they have their back to the camera. The new camera can see in the dark.
10:01 PMHeather CorfieldWe watched Mrs G fly across the field over the river quite low and at great speed with her talons out. Then she dropped sharply towards the PC nest.
10:02 PMHeather CorfieldOne of the people there likened her to an exocet missile.
10:24 PMHeather CorfieldAran usually roosts around the back of the nest trees.
10:25 PMGail EdgleyAran flew across to his usual roosting area not far away
10:27 PMGail EdgleyYes, Aran flew off about 21:27 - he headed over to the right of the site somewhere (looking in a down valley direction) The camera view is blocked so I can never find out where exactly he goes!

Highlights of "events & behaviours" late afternoon to 01:00 12 April. It's l-o-n-g
I see that on Chat the vocal owls were mentioned - I have not done anything to the sound and probably haven't included much evidence of that.
