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
That really was a whopper! Brodie stayed for less than a minute while Asha moaned. She stopped as soon as he had flown. Two decent fish already - 05.36 and 09.20. Brodie flew at 09.21.47. The chick are sleeping, while Asha holds the fish, and is 'stood staring'. She is feeding, intermittently

Thanks, KORKY - I knew I had to start the LG day but the later one caught my eye as it "flew" in while I was doing early-morning Clywedog. Just in case anyone thinks... ... ... and you know I can't bear anyone to "think"

Love the two fab deliveries. (Wish Asha would cut Brodie a break from the moaning though.)

With a baseball sized crop, #1 moves a stick then delivers a squit.

Me too! I have to tell myself it's Osprey lingo for "Thank you, thank you, thank you, darling, I love you so"
Here was Asha being dangerous with the first of several sticks this morning, plus Brodie's two fine fishes:

I think I'm in serious trouble with this laptop and have to take time out for investigations and backups - it's been going on since yesterday...Although, whilst typing now, it's back to normal
Hmm, maybe not.
13.32 Wet and windy at LG
14,23 another feed. Don't speak with your mouth full!
14.27 feed continues
15.13 Mumbrella
Well done Canuck! It was certainly an awkward tail to devour!
Something caught Asha's eye below the nest, and the cam went in search
16.08
16.09 but found nothing
Another wet spell
Wot's still down there?
She started to call, but it wasn't sustained.
16.37 she has a short comfort break. Returned, and shook her feathers to get rid of the rain drops
and continued in her roll of Mumbrella.
