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.

25 April - egg 1
28 April - egg 2
01 May - egg 3
Great! And he delivers while she’s feeding the kids! He eats some more on the nest while she’s feeding them, then he leaves the extra fish on the nest. Stellar… ️

Way to go our Brodie boy, is that 3 fish today then? Now that I have checked, I think it is.
20.10pm, poor Asha sitting in the rain, hope it is not going to too thundery and wet, for mamma and the chicks, although they will be well cuddled up and protected. I am sure Brodie will fend and shelter for himself.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Well, Canuk, the boy certainly dun good today!! No sign of any intruders so that must give him more time for fishing. Three is excellent! There is a lovely light this evening. Check out the PTZ

Great snap! I couldn't find better and couldn't find a good feed view either.
Mid-afternoon onwards = thunder and rain, then another fish:
