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
Thank you, heroine CC
Unknown said:to me it sounds unmistakable!
And to me, too - once I'd put it thru the sound editor so's I could hear anything at all !!! No sighting yet.
IMAGICAT
Egg shell spotted we have a bobble head
at one point you could see half the shell
.
I am thinking there maybe a hatch in progress.
I am thinking you were right, CATLADY
The bit about Brodie with shell fragment is very speculative indeed, but I definitely found some clucks, just a snatch. Too difficult to do better, I'm afraid.
Off I go in search of sightings - another hiding to nothing, I expect.
Good boy! No sooner had the mist cleared...
Asha is staying on the nest with it, a chick-feed commences.
EDIT
Just checked the PTZ to see if it was fixed - looks like Brodie on one of Odin's perches?
Some of this is screen-capture, for the sound, and some is from download, which is better quality, heyho.
If you know there's an osplet there you can kinda see it sometimes - well enough to prove that I was wrong about no hatches this season
