The season so far:
LM12 (Laddie) arrived back on the 16 March and LF15 (Lassie) on the 23 March. Lassie laid three eggs on the 4th, 7th, and 10th April. Currently both adults are taking turns to incubate the eggs which are expected to hatch in the second/third week in May.

Around 0300hr sopping wet Lassie got up from the flat-out position and showed us the scene beneath:

Who goes there?
It was Laddie with a fish!
But Lassie didn't get up for it so, after waiting a respectable time, he flew off:
