Asha returns |
Monday 17th April |
Quite a few changes on the nest so far. No sign of AX6 so Asha has been courted by various males since she returned. A case of 'watch this space'. Nothing further to report until the situation hopefully stabilises and Loch Garten once again have a breeding pair |
Tuesday 25th April |
Asha had recently paired up with a dark chested unringed male (URM) who is very similar in looks to herself. She surprises everyone by unexpectedly laying an egg at 4.21 this afternoon. The male doesn't seem to know what to make of it. |
