Asha & Brodie
The partnership has matured this season, with Asha continuing her good female role (and she loves nest-building) and Brodie being more reliable, both fishing and incubating.
The pair have fought their way thru all kinds of nasty weather - snow, wind and rain - and intruders, including the dreaded KL5 Klive, have been a nuisance but not dangerous...
so far.

Just wanted to comment on yet another amazing summary. You have a way with words that I envy and dear Scylla leaves me in awe with her video capture and editing. Thanks to all contributors!
Just to let y'all know I've been working away like a little Trojaness, except I don't think she would have wasted as much time as I have on insignificances.
KL5-Klive for ID - but his head looks quite damp, we'll have to try to get a dry one done:
In order to avoid using such a long word as "successful" in video titles (restricted by YT), I'm wondering if "viable" would be a better alternative than "good". Do you think it's acceptable in the context?
Klive's admirable fish:
The 12:40 attack by Brodie !!!
What a dainty hit
Opening the thread in another tab, I see that SHEILA has done another splendid commentary, I have to take an anti-hypo meal break but... I'll be back
Just catching up on messages and have to disagree with Freebird … IMHO Klive rather suits him.. but don’t be surprised if 'higher authorities’ decide that it sounds too much like a radio station. After the’missile debacle nothing would surprise me.
Freebird66 said:KL5 (he'll never be Klive to me)
I thought it was witty of Fergus to coin it and kicked myself for not thinking of it first !!!
However, whilst I am "happy" to call him Klive while he's persona non grata and not performing as a good male would, I have to agree that I'd like something less... um... gawky-sounding if he comes good in the end.
Yet Clive Owen isn't the slightest bit gawky ️ ️
Thank you for the kind comment, EJFan, it appreciated. I'd forgotten it was Fergus! We can blame the VC if the new generation don't approve!! LOL

Repeat of 12.40 attack - i have hands full, back later.
20:43 Klive to nest with fish - divebombed x 2 by another osprey
20:43 was a close call. There might have been some contact because I saw a few feathers fly up in the air.
Oh my goodness, could Brodie really be fighting back?
22.14 night cam came on. ENS
