"Asha"- Female - Unringed - partnered Axel in 2021.
Axel & Asha (as "Mistle") fled the nest May 2021 due to unknown intruders.

Thank you, TREVOR and SHEILA and CATLADY and anyone else who expressed sympathy.

It was hell for a couple of days but believe it or not, I was sorted soon! Had a new updated model by Monday morning pre-10:00, thanks to John Lewis and DPD - and Mr Singh the driver willingly carted it all the way up my stairs and refused the fiver we offered

Thank you, BART - you're on the ball as usual - as WENDY said - a real treat to see
SheilaFE said:The dialogue on the bottom of the vid said that on chick sadly died from salmonella poisoning just before fledging. I know my memory is crap these days, but didn't 1C1 fledge, albeit briefly. One large circular flight
Quite right, SHEILA.
Just a few snapshots..

bluesky2 said:he osprey nest is still live on camera but I can’t see any reference to a feeder cam going live. Does anyone have any information about this, please.
Sorry to waste people's time by indicating there's a new post and they'll think I've got something informative to say when I haven't...
But I don't want you, BLUESKY, to think nobody cares!
I've been wondering why the Goshawk nest got attention but not the Osprey nest?
Could we ask Jason Fathers of WW?
Where's THOMO when we need him? He's so good at inserting the stick of dynamite
