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.

i am away now SYAL
Morning all. What goings on with the fishing. Dear Asha is now confident to go fish herself. Good job as we can't rely on Brodie boy this last wee while! I wonder what is going on with him? Maybe still being the new dad and not really knowing what it is all about. At least the chicks will be well fed now, especially as we know Asha will go and fish. SYAL of to do chores.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I did a double-take there too - I think SHEILA must have meant yesterday, Trevor. Have a good day!
Thanks for the Brodie report BILLY !!!
It was a FLOUNDER !!!
Asha merely looked over her shoulder during feed chicks - EDIT - no, feeding herself - so he eventually left it on the nest:
Everything's been going OK here except me, I'll do a vid for all 3 fish later.
A FLOUNDER ??? !!!
PTZ view - it couldn't be seen once landed - he hadn't eaten much, a fact which surely must leave us with more questions
