The personnel in the OP for the 2025 season
have all shown up at one time or another ...
...with BlueKL5-Klive disrupting proceedings again,
causing Asha to disappear for days on end
and to return as a different Osprey,
according to YT Chatters and LG HQ.
The new female has not been named by LG HQ, so I am referring to her as "Asha#2", given that she is indistinguishable to most of us here but we respect the considered opinions of Osprey experts.
After a steady start to the season, with Brodie & Asha establishing a good routine towards eggs, Klive's interference has resulted in a period of reconstruction, which is taking its time - not least due to continuing intrusions - but not by Klive, unless he's lost his Darvic, a possibility suggested by Tap1 - we certainly haven't seen his normal self since both he and Asha disappeared -
after she wing-slapped him on 20 April
Brodie & Asha#2
IMAGICAT
Great opener for May Scylla, thank you very much.
Not an auspicious start to the day, with Brodie failing to wrap his tail again:
More spousal abuse - withholding of sustenance:
Asha#2 is still waiting.
Oh RATS
Lovey opening for May Scylla, Asha2! About time he went fishing for her and this time gives it to her!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Early evening:
Later, Brodie came to defend again - still no intruder seen - and Asha#2 joined him hoping for fish, poor thing she waited and called and waited and called...
What in the world is the matter with this guy !!! look how stuffed HIS crop it .
why is she acquiescing to mating ! when it hardly looks likely he'll fish for the chicks - sheeeesh (can't spell it)
Cirrus said:What in the world is the matter with this guy
Watching his attempts at mating, with frequent failures to wrap without great effort, I've been wondering if he's carrying some slight injury ???

Reserved for the morning get-go, which I'm going to have to complete later because of heatred and consequences.
EDIT - changed mind Post , it's on the next page - plus Klive's persistent intrusion and attempted matings, Brodie's return.
Look who swooped to the nest, looking masterful?! It's the BTO'd male We really must do a Klive comparison and this should be a good opportunity but I can't stop now.
This'll have to do for now - let's call him Yon Cassius today
(No, I am not a Shakespearean scholar, but some things stick in yer mind )
She shoved him off:
Not a good comparison (from the season's OP)
SYAL.
Just checked YT Chat and see that...
Holly29 has managed to see his Klivy eye

Hi everyone. It's Canuck.
Attached is a log that I kept for the 2024 season. It contains info on matings, fish deliveries, activities at the nest. (My apologies but I still need to clean up a few things late in the season.) On the second tab it has photos of Asha, Brodie and KL5 for comparison purposes. Perhaps the photos of KL5 can help with the ID of the BTO ringed male who has appeared on the nest.Loch Garten - 2024 - Fish, Mating, Intruders Log.xlsx
