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.

EDIT
********
Sadly, the month of May heralded irresistible aggression from BlueKL5 "Klive", who had ruined the end of last season for the 2 juvies.
Within the first 2 days Klive had driven Brodie from the area (tho Brodie did return a couple of times to dive-bomb Klive, to no effect) and destroyed the eggs. He commenced to woo Asha clumsily, selfishly and inappropriately, as can be seen from the following pages.

ok ok - I really didn't know about all the hassles of messing about with wild life cams . But why should I ? everyone else is the expert here, especially you Scylla dear. The most I do is grab a snap via greenshot. Sigh. Anyway, I'n so glad you're back 'online' and thanks for this latest Chaffie that had the misfortune to get the perch sticking out of its head.
