Lovely photos Sheila

Thank you Sheila, really enjoyed your report and photos, also a belated happy birthday!

as promised I have added pics to my post of 20 March

Thank you, Sheila - all saved in dedicated folder :)

Is this right for the nest location?

Laddie returned with yet more dry material and is busy rearranging all the bits and pieces. I'm sure the wind isn't helping!

At last - the tribute to Laddie's hard work on a windy morning :-*

As per the snaps added onto the end of that vid:

Thank you Scyllla, he's certainly worked hard . Wish Lassie would turn up.

Thank you Scylla, the comparison photos really allow appreciation for what these creatures managewith their beak and a set of tallons. The grass/hay nest cup looks perfectly circular. What mate could refuse?
