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.

Both chicks male according to the RSPB on chat.
2C4 and 2C5. 83% of people thought there'd be one of each and only 7% thought they'd both be male. I guess 10% thought they'd both be female. See me, see maths....

#2 is first to show his bling. He needed a poo, so stood up!!
There's rain in the air
Both are now up and showing their bling
#2 has another poop! His crop is certainly full, so they aren't hungry!!
Lots of males this year then ! I hope 2024 brings out the females . We want lots of pairs in 2025 and 2026 then
