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
Brodie came and took away the 11:12 fish - but not before the 2 osplets were frd from it in plain view !!! (I think he brought it back @ 15:21.)

Tiger started a Facebook page long ago when this site had been hacked. It is called Loch Garten Ospreys Temporary Group. You can find it if you search under that name. I’ve just posted to make sure it is functional. We can use it to exchange information until this is fixed. If this ever gets posted, go to the Facebook page and see if you can post to it…

Intruder, Brodie flew in to help but as usual she flapped him off. He survived to return and collect the fish he'd brought this morning... and he didn't bring any back !!!
It got windy, Asha flew a couple of tines in the hour before midnight and cast a pellet:
Thank you for your email {{{CC}}} ... good thinking !!!
I'll post this on Facebook for anyone who can't hang about here and does have an FB a/c.

Intruder BlueKL5 swoops in, touches down, Asha flaps him off:
In haste, cos I need to eat my dinner I do hope Brodie is OK.
KL5's visit PTZ view:
And back again after 08:00 !!!
No food - Asha was checking they'd washed behind their ears:
