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.

Scylla, please rest , please rest. Most people take holidays - please take one albeit maybe short . Just 24 hours loafing and looking at whatever Osprey calendars you have,. If you have an Osprey book - read a chapter . Just , leave Tech alone for 24 hours. We (bear with me please Osprey fans and Thread reader ) can so easily take you for granted. We appreciate so much all you do but minds need a rest as well as bodies.
I'm taking a break myself before my heart breaks . Just when I thought all was well with all the nests , something crops up with one or another. And LG has been particularly difficult. Forgive me everyone .............
If there is good news would anyone who has my email address tell me. I don't know how to retrieve PM anymore and I don't get notice of such .OR someone could pretend to 'like' a post of mine cos then I'd receive an email from RSPB. Thanks Silly me . That can't work can it . Well. I'll just have to steel my nerve and look in briefly from time to time.
Can't switch off now, Cirrus! EDIT - I'll let you know any good news.
This was KL5 at the time when another was on the campost - no hope of getting a ring number from the PTZ cam.
Only KL5 obligingly displayed on the nestcam:
Oh dear, I said this same time last night! Where is Bdodie and why is he not fishing? Poor Asha, she is so in need of nourishment. Forcast for us tomorrow, not nice, high winds and rain, so if the same in LG, not a lot of opportunity to fish!!
EDIT Just had a look, weather really good, warm, sunny and hardly any wind, here and at LG. Don't know what forcast they were watching to tell me that!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
FISH !!! !!! !!!

The only way you could have improved upon that word, Scylla was by making the font bright red. THANK YOU
