After the tragedy of 2021, the 2022 Season was a great success, with 3 beautiful youngsters fledging and migrating - Blue 497, 498 and 499 (courtesy of Glider):
Here's to the safe return of our precious pair, MrsG (thank you MaryGK for the original snap) and Aran:

Today, this year's indispensable volunteers gathered to give us a Group Wave, and I thought we should pay tribute to them here:
(How sparse this seems for a season OP - but it's all I've got to give. I think we need the new thread sooner rather than later, being mindful of the likelihood of Dovey Devils and/or Clywedog Kids swooping in )

It looks as tho Aran could be away fishing - we do hope so.
Here she is, dry this morning - I'm now calling her HMURF (heavily marked unringed female), to distinguish her from the other URFs we've seen.
She's very pretty! Glider posted a comparison capture of the female that was at Brenig, Scylla (previous page). This HMURF is very similar.
9:01ish Well done, Aran

I just saw the Brenig snap and thought that GLIDER had posted in the wrong thread - after all, she's covering loads of nests and I do that myself quite often. Thank you, SANDRA - yes, very similar females.
This morning, so far, it's going really well - a fish for (can I really carry on with HMURF?) the new female and she returned some to Aran with little or no fuss:

OK< i'm slowly coming around to this girl now that she's showing some respect.
Incidentally (anyone) - this isn't the female that (at least) twice poohed into the nest, is it ? ? is it ?
OK< I'm convinced, (having viewed various of Scylla's videos ) this lady is sincere about Aran . Huge sigh of relief
Forgot to say 'Thank you' Scylla. Videos much appreciated
OK, it's not much cos I couldn't get a better view 'cos of the red line , but: not unlike a young Mrs G (which heartens me no end) and as Scylla called her , Mrs G Junior (you know, like JFK Junior )
Aran's hormones have been rampant
