Aran & Elen
After a slightly dodgy start, when Elen went AWOL when she found that Aran hadn't arrived, and he therefore had a brief flirtation with Blue372 (of whom much more in the Llyn Brenig thread), this couple's second season together is turning out to be a great success. Elen has survived the attentions of an aggressive Tawny Owl and has produced 3 eggs, one more than last season, and Aran has continued to be the great provider we are accustomed to.

Overnight Elen was alerted several times - no-one could be seen but distant Tawny calls could be heard:
The resident Cam2 lens spider, looking like a passing monster:
07:40 Aran brought an already-deheaded fish to the perch and proceeded to eat or just keep hold of it for over an hour !!! In the end, Elen flew off as if chasing someone (but I couldn't tell), and stayed away long enough to force Aran to bring the fish to the nest and incubate the eggs, and Elen was able to return and claim the fish!
The fish seemed to have a line-like appendage:
It couldn't be seen in Elen's talons:
Lovely opening thread thank you Scylla sums it up perfectly!
Yes, lovely opener Scylla, thanks. I read on the chat tonight that Blue498 (22), son of Mrs G and Aran in their last year together visited here earlier today. Aran saw him off!
Morning Everyone yes thank you Glider he was also on the nest with Elen this morning until Aran joined the party and chased him off!
Tried to put some screen shots on but can't seem to resize them so think they'll be too big but will see what happens!
Aran arrives after chasing him off but Elen thinks it's his son and flaps him off ..... He must look like his dad! lol!
Thank you for covering this, LAM! I'm on LG for the foreseeable few hours, probably!

When you've put a snap in the RF editing box, left-click on it and it will go "shaded" - you can then drag the bottom-right corner out to the right or back to the left to make it bigger or smaller :-*
Thank you Scylla for the information on resizing will have a go next time!
Your coverage and snaps of 498’s encounter with Elen is fab LAM. I had no idea what time it happened.
