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.

Unknown said:maybe it's quite a normal thing for the females to fish when the chicks are 4/5 weeks old??
Don't know. EJ certainly did if she felt it was necessary.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

Me too, in Thunderbird!
Moreover... another downloader crash - it happened around 10:00, with all coming up to their 6-hour processing point, so all that is lost.
PTZ screen-capture soldiers on, here's a gif, which I hope doesn't annoy anyone too much.

Asha has brought in at least 3 sticks.
10:23 she flew off alarm calling... Nothing came of it.
I hope you can see the chicks - it took a long time to get all 3 faces viewable - there was a moment when the chicks "glared" at each other but Asha had turned away.
