I start this thread with a heavy heart, as Brodie hasn't been seen at all on Friday 30th June. The last fish delivered to the nest was at 21.11 on 28 June, over 48 hours ago. Brodie was last sighted at 09.10 hours on 29 June, over 36 hours ago.
Chick 1 hatched 'early morning' on the 4 June and chick 2 overnight on 6 June. One egg didn't hatch (maybe number 1?). There were lots of intruders during the month of June, including KL5, and last year's male Axel on the weekend of 17/18th. Brodie has disappeared before for a couple of days, and no fish were delivered over the first weekend after hatching on 10/11th June so maybe we should keep the faith and cross all eyes, toes and fingers that Brodie will come good, recover from whatever keeps him away from his nest and chicks, and deliver a stonking fish first thing on 1 July.

I know! It's not that I haven't been around but have been turmoiled and embroiled - for one thing the dang downloader crashed again so I don't have anything for the whole morning apart from LG PTZ screen-capture, therefore:
This one doesn't quite warrant the same fanfare - but we do appreciate it!

Brilliant, Scylla! They have certainly been well fed today. Brodie's night time delivery was surprising. He must have caught it in the gloamin again, but held on to it until ... why during the night!
Thank you so much Korky for your wonderful reporting! I have only just seen the VC vid which was issued y'day. Interesting to note a salmon has a protruding lower jaw. One to note in future, if we can actually see it on our small screens.
I also noted, but in a glance which was soon lost - and I couldn't find it again, Center!!
A big day today. #1 finds its wings
16.17
and then its legs
