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.

Exactly what I was going to post - I'd had to go to Chat looking for it, as I'd scrolled right thru the fish on nest and PTZ cams, and spent time poring over the footage where the PTZ went looking for Asha eating but couldn't find her.
It keeps getting better . Thank you Korky

I don't know if it's anything to do with it, but he responded to intruder @ 14:30 and 15:00, with Asha laying low - am investigating further...

Further!
And again after 17:00 and he hasn't been seen since
(I put sound on the PTZ, I hope someone notices cos I need my appreciation society active )
A blue ring but it was out of shot 2 frames later:
I only hope he's OK and in fishing mode tomorrow
Asha had a flyabout but my main point is the "things" flying about - critters or atmospherics?

This is a holding snap - I don't know who Asha was repelling, an intruder or Brodie:
I'm trying to do some catchup for SoCal Barn Owls, BBL.
