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.

It took me much longer than a minute cos I got so confused between the 2 cams - in the end I did it from Cam2 only. And then !!! YouTube sat on it for literally hours, saying it was uploaded but awaiting processing, it did it with another vid too - OK this morning.
Apologies if this isn't accurate, and I forgot to caption how comfortable Elen was with her stepson
Scylla loved that many thanks! Didn't expect you to have any time after the LG and LOTL events nor energy.... So much appreciated!
Glider said:Your coverage and snaps of 498’s encounter with Elen is fab LAM. I had no idea what time it happened.
Thank you Glider not much good at this but trying as when RSPB was closing us down realised that we really enjoyed the forums so are trying to make a bit more time to support them.
You’re doing a great job, keeping an eye on so many nests. Thank you LAM, much appreciated.
Thank you Glider much appreciated!

Had a quick run thru the day, didn't spot any disasters, Elen's toughing it out on a wet evening:

Someone ID'd this as a bat but I'm not sure it isn't a strange insect:
Elen asleep at half-past midnight - this cam reminds me of the year(s) we got EJ in what I called "pencil-sketch" mode ️

Looks Mayfly shaped to me but size not right??

It definitely looks more like your mayfly Wendy than a bat!
Glaslyn are having some technical issues this morning and are currently showing the view from the decking of the Visitors’ Centre. The white objects are the cameras and fibre dish. The contractor will be on site today. (Barbara, Moderator)
