After a start/stoppy kinda season, we now have settled couple "URM" (until LG give him a name) and Asha, or Mistle as some would prefer.
Asha is the proud parent of 2 eggs, the father of which being dubious but probably URM, as we hardly saw NN2 (for whom we wish all the best elsewhere) be accepted by Asha.
URM and Asha are similarly marked but distinguishable by certain differences which I may slot in here but I've lost them for the time being.
Asha (R) is looking rather small in this snap because she's crestfallen due to no supper:
Because Asha did so much work on the nest before she had a partner, there hasn't been a lot for URM to do - but he has quite frequently brought in nest material - and his fish provisions have been regular and willingly handed over. He's a promising Osprey dad so far.

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Still about, despite Covid and other nasties. Limpy was in hospital with pleurisy earlier this year but managed to survive that. His Parkinson's is progressing despite his sheer determination. He's still (somehow) on his feet and even continues to drive but we don't know for how much longer.
