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.

(The reason I'm not quoting your second bit is because you've used 2 lines and the system can't cope with what is effectively more than one paragraph. I'd have to do one of my mauvy tables ... or, I could always do 2 quotes, of course:

That looked like an interrupted fish delivery ???
EDIT
No - Brodie flew in with a little stick, dumped it on the nest and flew off - his family were not best pleased:
I would think he dropped the fish because it was so small hi did not miss It just a thought
The nest cam looks' like he has a fish ?looked again It just a twig
Lovely clouds and headless osprey
