Asha is the proud parent of 3 eggs, the father of which being dubious but probably URM - now called Brodie - as we hardly saw NN2 (for whom we wish all the best elsewhere) be accepted by Asha. Brodie had a lot of trouble fending off intruders which has made him a bit flaky in the fish catching and delivery department. Poor old Asha didn't eat for over 2 days last week. The main intruder was KL5, who seems to have stopped hanging around so much now, which is good as we approach hatch date and the need for fish will ramp up.

Also, courtesy of scylla, here are the laying dates;
25 April - egg 1
28 April - egg 2
01 May - egg 3
Huge THANK YOU, Korky
I have PM'd you - two PMs, in fact, as the first got sent unfinished cos the Enter to send box was mysteriously ticked.
Our maid at exactly midnight - she was sleeping, which she doesn't do a lot of:

Forgot my gif of Asha on nightcam with her eye not glowing white:
Asha's been in 'n out with clumps etc and giving him a real ear-bashing, but then she stayed away longer and a conversation took place (as per my video yesterday) and now she's back incubating and we hope Brodie's gone fishing.
FISH !!! !!! !!!

Little vid of scenes after lunch:
Intruder in the early afternoon - there were several views of Osprey preening on the PTZ but they were all unringed, probably one or other of our couple.
Then the fish KORKY reported/snapped, no further excitement thereafter.
