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

You must have been away, Gardenbirder - see LG FB.
This was my video of the intrusion:
And I've been getting interrupted on my way to doing a Fox video - but look what I found!

I'm calling it 13:00 for the sake of a couple of seconds:

Good thinking, CC, but we've been beaten to it.

We all had to start somewhere, and you've broken the ice. From little acorns...
Don't end up like me, tho - spending so much time "perfecting" snaps that there's no time to follow what's going on! We need your commentaries.
Here was the fox - I didn't crop for a closer view, it would have been even grainier:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
21:32 FISH !!! !!! !!!
Looks like a poor excuse on the PTZ (which - tho I never complain - has been left on a choc teapot setting for the night):
I'm waiting to get something from the nestcam, that takes longer:

Once Asha had this on the nest I couldn't see it at all, neither cam!
