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.

Asha's early-morning zip-around:

One has to question her judgement sometimes:
Unknown said:No fish this morning as far as I can see
Me neither, but I lost half an hour either side of 05:00 on all streams this morning because the downloader went on pause when it couldn't find any more space to save to
(But I did have the screen-capture for the PTZ cam.)

That was short-lived!
Edit: I'm not sure whether is was from Kielder N7! I can't find it again anywhere. It is all very quiet, apart from the wind.

It was headless, but a large fish.
Brodie spent a couple of minutes watching the feed

Asha was showing an interest mid-preen from 11:43 for a minute or two, but I could only hear the chicks and the wind:
Lunch! A peaceful feed, if you don't count Asha's encouraging screeches while she picked and offered bites:
There's another feed going on now, I haven't checked up-to-date for any more fish.
