Certainly agree with you Gardenbirder. My heart went out to Seren as well. That awful moment when Mrs G pinned her wing - understandable and all that, defending her mate and nest and Aran was a naughty boy toying with her. So glad Dylan found another mate after his sadness too . Safe return Seren and Dylan.

I had a huge crash this afternoon and lost 4-5 hours on all cams - but this perch cam scene just before 20:00 makes me think we didn't miss much:

Since the 20:00 changeover tonight, the IR has failed (according to me).

Scylla there was a note on chat that the IR would not be switched on last night as the batteries had not chargd from the solar panels sufficiently.

Thank you, AG. I wonder if it'll be any better today, it's got gloomier by the hour :(((

Lunchtime - he's still looking for a mate, did some sweet tweeting:

Carnyx Wild on chat 08.01 p.m. "After an overcast day, the IR light will be off tonight, reducing the drain on the solar and battery system."

Eek, I just found 2 hours for yesterday morning - and as luck would have it, the Crossbills were on it:
