Richard G B said:I was told about this earlier, but couldn't say anything. Now it has been posted elsewhere I have permission to let you know. The heavily marked female was identified as a well established breeding female from another Welsh nest. She disappeared a couple of days ago and turned up at Glaslyn nest. If you remember Zi turned up with a fish and landed next to her. He was chased off, and then the female left. They both reappeared on their own nest. So Z1 came to collect his wife

In reply to scylla:
Aran arrived flapping, then "Dot"... he's flown around and returned for a mating but I haven't been able to keep my eye on it - because of "things going on".
I think there have been lots of mating attempts, I watched the latest one and she didn't lift her tail, yet again, and slightly flapped him off after a little while.
and in reply to everyone else
expect you all know by now and I'm the last to piece the Tegid and Mrs G jnr fracas together
bits from Chat ( but the top ones disappear ) explain that Z1 turned up t Glaslyn from his nest way north (not sure where exactly) to claim back his mrs
Arrrrg .......mrs G jnr is Mrs Tegid . Lucky chap. Well, I can only hope Aran's present gal will grow up nicer than she seems to be doing and doesn't pooh in the nest
I really am
On the other hand , maybe yet another unringed gal will usurp the present one and adore our gorgeous Aran from the get go (where are all these UNringed gals coming from anyway)
But do we have to call her Dot and Why ? doesn't make sense to me. Two Dots at Dyfi was Two Dots for a reason, oh just , SIGH
Z1 AND Mrs Z1 are nesting in Wales and she has been raising for several years, so a lot of potential returnees.
Very many thanks Richards
