AX6 Axel and his lovely unringed partner Mistle are bonding well, and Mistle has been threatening to lay an egg - we await developments.
It seems that Mistle has been on the perch & nest all night:
Small fish. EDIT: Or as someone here would say FOTD #1.
Have a wonderful time CC!
11.37 #1 FISH
I would say it was slightly bigger than "small'!
Axel takes over immediately
11.44 Mistle returns, fishless, and calling as she prowls around the back of Axel, until he gets up. Axel takes off in the wind and Mistle incubates

The LG Goshawk got a visit from a Pine Marten last night - I wonder how far away it is? Did they say whether there was any protection on our Osprey tree? Obviously not for the Goshawk tree.
15.40 #2 FISH, a huge (query) brown trout!
A swift hand over, and Axel incubates
