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.

I was miffed that Lassie didn't help the osplet but it was the right way up when she did a second underbelly sort-out :)

Just looked in on the nest and notice that Lassie's first osplet has arrived. Thanks Starling for the super captures of the little one feeding.
Thanks to all for updates and pics.
