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.
A scylla-super-snap of the happy parents-to-be
Also, courtesy of scylla, here are the laying dates;
25 April - egg 1
28 April - egg 2
01 May - egg 3
Before the fish arrived, Asha distracted herself by carrying out a major nest refurbishment - which the kids just survived!
For speed, I didn't "improve" the contrast etc (until the chicks), so it looks a bit pallid.)

Canuck said:by my very unscientific count, for the month of june so far, brodie has delivered 35 fish, 20 of which have been delivered from june 12 to present
Scientific or not, it's great to have that info - I am far too disorganised and unobservant to supply stats, so it's another reason to be grateful for having you around
Phew ! thanks Scylla
21June INTRUSION - can only see Asha reacting.
EDIT
Heehee, I said to my fwend on the phone "It's AX6", but look who it really was:

Ohhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!
I am devastated to have to tell you that Pete Dee's UKOspreys website is no longer available. IMHO, the replacement that was being created was not nearly so user-friendly but maybe I didn't try hard enough or long enough.
EDIT2
From Google's cache we can see that KL4 was not listed at all:
12:48:36 to 12:55:55 fox. can watch it hunting on the ptz cam
Oooh this is frustrating. I'm in the position of not being able to watch the cam therefore not able to comment. I'm not at home so can't look at my data. I'm sure I'd know who KL4 is. I can only follow your comments for now. How super to see a fox Canuk. We have often seen deer passing thru!

Pete Dee did a fantastic job with his site, but i must admit I do like the new one. it brings a more modern touch to it, and the colour coding is nice.
