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.

Poor Brodie still isn't welcome to hang around.
'Go away, Brodie'
The sad thing is, from my point of view, if I didn't 'know' it was Brodie I don't think I would recognise him easily. We so rarely see much of him for very long.
Needless to say it was 2C5/Sid/#1 who was first in the fish queue. with 2C4/Harry/#2 at the back of the nest keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Now, peaceful times. It is Harry who is looking at the wider world
Nevertheless Sheila, this is a 'first' year for both of them. I was very nervous in regard to Brodie's ability to provide for a whole family but he has proved a wonderful provider which will be remembered by Asha next year. This I am hoping will allow her to be more generous concerning her mate and allow him to see the eggs hatching and her feeding the chicks. She hasn't exactly had a wonderful beginning with mates in general.. EJ had a need to 'prove' Odin - in later years she wasn't so focused on stuffing the first hatched (Rothes) always first and every time he (as it turned out to be later !) sauntered over for seconds or thirds.
Anyway, I'm feeling sad from the point of view of Asha's meanness to him in regard to allowing him to enjoy his family so trusting it will be completely different next year.
