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.

Thank you for all the tips of how to upload photos and catch videos.
I am testing out uploading a image using "Snapping Tool". When I enlarge it, it doesn't look very sharp.
For the image below I first saved it to my hard drive and then inserted it as an uploaded. Still fuzzy.
Last attempt. I first saved it to my hard drive and then inserted it as an uploaded. But I changed the size during the upload. Still fuzzy.
I'll let you guys do this. You know what you are doing.

Don't knock yourself. I've seen far worse!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Thank you for trying, WENDY & CATLADY

Can't do it. Can't hold the tablet and press 2 buttons at the same time without mishandling the tablet or, at the very least, disturbing the screen. Duh
CANUCK - congratulations on your snaps! Everyone's screen-captures come out rather low-res, I think the system does something to them to save on resources. If you think mine are "clearer", that's because I use freebie picture software to "enhance" them - eg, Irfanview (which is my default picture handler instead of Windows' built-in one), Photoscape X (from MS Store) and Photoscape - sometimes all 3 on the same snap, because one element can be easier on one app and another on another, if you see what I mean. I waste a lot of time on snaps, which is why I don't get much done
I just checked Chat for the word of the Oracle
No more fish found.
