Lassie arrived home 18th of March, and Laddie on the 25th of March. Maybe by the 7th or 8th of April we could be on egg watch.
She is on the nest at the moment

Good morning everyone :-) Thanks for the earlier reports. When I tuned in about 25 minutes ago, both were on the nest and Laddie was alarm calling.....
The scene now with Lassie doing some preening.....

I'm not sure Clare. I haven't seen any signs and looking at Chloe & Tigers' excellent "Mating to Laying" stats, last year Lassie was 14 days from mating to laying. Maya has laid her first after 8 days so in theory it could be another 4 days (Laddie was back 2 days before 33) before we see an egg here!
But she may surprise us ... they usually do :-)
Both preening......
Think Lassie was gently calling and Laddie has flown.....
Laddie just arrived for a sit down ;-)
Lassie flew off alarm calling.
Just got back to this scene with Lassie doing a bit of gentle calling....
Then perhaps some mating.....
Laddie has flown and Lassie preens....
Lassie has a go at the egg cup.....
A preening Lassie...
After an away trip from the nest, Lassie is back and making that egg cup more egg cuppy ;-)
