Aran and his new mate, Elen, both returned last season on 03 April. After a will-they/won't-they start, Elen laid her first egg on 24 April and the second 3 days later. Two male chicks, 0H1 and 0H2, fledged on 20 and 23 July and were last seen on 05 and 04 September, respectively.

Elen was last seen on 24 August, Aran on 08 September.
A happy ending to a season that had started out so sadly.
May our 2024 season turn out so well.

Some bits 'n pieces. I've been thru Cam1 as well but it periodically breaks up badly and there was no perch zoom.

As I was the only one that made a prediction yesterday, or on other occasions, that means that I got the closest time! lol
Well done Sandra, I forgot to have a go!
Great news thanks AG ...

Just checked Chat and realised how far out of it I've been! Thank you, AG :)))
Poor thing, she has no nestcup - but they (all the residents) have managed on this concrete flooring year after year!
The nest material stuck to the shell is making it look as tho there's a large hole in it:

25 April @ 12:44 Elen lays Egg #2
No problem for Elen but the cam (Cam2) kept going out of focus when zooming attempted - Cam1 had no view at all.
