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 )
IMAGICAT
Aran got bored and went and fetched a stick but the cam was so wet I couldn't even get a snap of it. He may have brought more, he certainly had a bit of a tussle at the fence... Well, he's away now, maybe fishing? Because if he was in sight out there, Heather would have found him for us.
Early afternoon Aran returned to the nest for 20+ minutes, after he left that was the last we saw of him for the day:
Late afternoon, these two were undisturbed until they flew a few minutes before nightcam cam on:
Wildly vague time - Aran arrived about 06:00, he had a flap in the middle of the nest and then settled on the fence, where he still is as I type:
Finishing his fish - we had no close-up so this isn't HD:
Then he moved a stick on the nest and hung around, then he flew off.
Aran's been flapping very excitedly on his nest... and someone landed, rather white-chested with flecks. I can't see well enough yet.
EDIT
Only one piece of one Osp showing at the mo, caught this prior:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It's a moving feast - I think she(?) has flown:
I say "she" with some confidence - purely from Aran's reaction..
Thanks for snaps, CIRRUS!
scylla said:I think she(?) has flown:
No, it was Aran who had flown. Whether they got together in the end remains to be seen. If only he'd let her have his FISH!
