Link to March/April 2023
.
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.

I trust we are both grinning about this Ailie as I meant no hurt feelings and trust all is well between us (I apologize)

No 'pain' Scylla. I should have kept my neck wound in. Not thinking clearly with one thing and another

What good news to wake up to. Not only is the PTZ cam in action, but with night vision too! Yippee
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nice 3pm fish for Asha
