At the moment it is an empty nest.
When I first looked I thought it was a small bird to the right of the nest, but its been static for a while so must be a bit of bark. :-)

Do you still think it's Laddie that's gone Starling?
Because I miss so much taking the captures, it didn't look like Laddie left on the nest on that shot, so I was hoping someone saw who left.

I've scrolled back through the footage, Starling. Please correct me if I've got Laddie and the Intruder the wrong way round

Thanks Sandra, I would agree with that.

Phew! :)
Hoping for a more peaceful day for them tomorrow.
It appears that Lassie has decided to roost on the nest tonight.

Good Morning All
I hope today is a better day for L&L, that is one persistent intruder.
Lassie on the nest, very alert, looking all around.
Morning Mary and All
Like you I hope this intruder moves on but he does appear very persistent!
Do we know when are eggs due here?
Morning Karen
Well Laddie arrived back 29 March, but I think maybe all this upset may delay Lassie laying, who knows, I certainly don’t. :-)
Thanks Mary - 29th, approx 9 days now so still time I think.
We can only hope Laddie sees him off before she lays any eggs. What a horrible situation here.
