    Sorry to be non-chronological yet again, am trying to catch up but can't do any of today yet.

    Yesterday, the 15th - not a happy day for anyone, tho the squirrel may have had fun teasing Elen.

    16 April

    YT Chat reports early-morning skydancing.  I believe it's been a more settled day but haven't been able to check it yet and will not until much later.

    21:14:22 Elen laid second egg. The morning will reveal if Aran accepts it.. She incubated straight away.

    I just found this on Instagram saying one of Aran and Mrs G’s last chicks visited early this morning.

    16 April up to very early this morning the 18th

    Aran's trying to reassert his rightful place but Heather reports lots of intrusions in the area - Teifi is definitely responsible for some.  As for the egg - Elen continues to incubate, with nighttime breaks, and Aran has not attacked it yet, as far as I have seen scrolling thru at a thousand miles an hour:

    From Heather on Glaslyn Chat:   

    ​​Aran's problem, as was the situation with 03(97), is that there is two challengers. Blue 685 is also in the mix.
    ​​We are seeing more in the skies than we are able to show on camera, but we have identified 685 passing cameras on several occasions over the past few days and have seen 3 birds chasing not just two.
    Very heavy sigh
    Also from Heather on Chat:
    ​​We only saw Blue 721 after 06:22 yesterday so we are not sure what the current situation is. The fact a new bird has been able to appear suggests that none of the three were nearby.
    ​​Blue 721 also intruded at the Pont Croesor nest I believe in between two appearances at the Glaslyn nest. We have not seen much activity over the Pont Croesor nest.

    I've got days 'n days of footage to go thru - every time I get a spark of energy, I tire myself out on another cam.  I started on Glaslyn yesterday but had to break off when I saw the bad news at LG.

    Oh dear, Yes, Scylla. You're so good to keep trekking through video footage  for us. Thank you,  it is appreciated.  Bad news still here too. So many people think Aran will feed Teifi's eggs when they hatch  !    Unless eggs destroyed the nest  will fail and may well with so many returning males with no nest and no mate. Oh Aran please learn to return in March. (Although, I did read somewhere  that adverse weather conditions have made many males late returning this year)
