Hello, Asha appears to have spotted something 👀

Incoming! It's Brodie - our returning male Osprey - and he's brought Asha a fish!

We can't wait to see what the season holds for this pair...

'Asha, look what I did!' - presents Asha with fish.

'Brodie, look what I did!' - presents Brodie with second egg. 🥚

(Asha wins)

Congratulations to Asha & Brodie on egg number 2! Laid at 14:06 this afternoon.

Did you know we have a LIVE Osprey nest camera on our YouTube channel?

If Storm Kathleen keeps you indoors this weekend, settle in with a cuppa, turn on the feed, and keep an eye out for Ospreys returning 🦅

#TheOspreyDiaries

Meanwhile at Loch Garten... 🦅

09:29 Asha *patiently waiting for her breakfast*

09:30 Brodie 'Asha, Asha - look at this cool stick I found!' *whacks Asha in face with tail*

09:31 Asha *flies away*

#TheOspreyDiaries 15/04/24

BREAKING: Drama has rocked the nest at Loch Garten!

At 14:49 this afternoon, a ringed male Osprey, known as Axel, attacked the nest.

Now for the tea... Axel is none other than Asha's old flame! ☕️👀

Watch it all unfold...

#TheOspreyDiaries 17/04/24

This morning on The Osprey Diaries...

10:29 - Brodie settles in for a nice peaceful morning incubating the eggs.

10:33 - Asha has, er, other plans.

PS... who's spotted the new addition to the nest? We're not talking about the sticks! 🥚👀

#TheOspreyDiaries 29/04/24

Heartbreak at Loch Garten: KL5 has taken over, leading to a tragic clash.

Despite Asha's valiant efforts to protect their nest, and Brodie's return with a fish at 11:47 AM, KL5's determination prevailed.

🦅💔 #TheOspreyDiaries 1/4

Second Osprey of the day! This time unringed, so we haven't got a confirmed ID just yet.

#TheOspreyDiaries

'What are you looking at?'

Looks to be Blue 154, previously sighted at Loch Garten in April last year.

#TheOspreyDiaries

POV: Your fellowship has just broken and you've crested one of the hills of Emyn Muil.

#TheOspreyDiaries

What's next? With KL5 now dominating, the future of the nest hangs in balance.

It’s unlikely Asha and Brodie will reunite this season.

Stay tuned as we continue to monitor this unfolding saga.

Nature: sometimes heart-breaking but always fascinating.

#TheOspreyDiaries 🦅4/4

In the fray, one egg was lost overboard, another damaged, and another's fate unclear - but with little hope for survival.

It's a tough day for Asha & Brodie fans as we witness the harsh realities of nature unfold. 🥚2/4

#TheOspreyDiaries

Who is KL5? Known for his late-season disruptions, he forced Brodie to defend their chicks last year.

His goal? To replace Brodie and claim the nest—and possibly Asha—ensuring his lineage prevails. 🦅 3/4
