Well, I thought I'd start a new thread now both birds are back. I can't remember if we do a daily or a weekly thread for LotL?
LF15 (aka Lassie) arrived back on the nest at 5.50pm on Saturday 23rd March, after LM12 (aka Laddie) had been skydancing for an hour or so. He delivered a bit of fish but there was no nookie observed. This will no doubt happen once the bond is truly resealed and Sunday 24th March may be a busy day. As at 4.10am, she is still on the nest, asleep, in the droopy, head down position, like she's got a headache. Tired after her journey but no doubt happy to be home.
SWT have yet to confirm it's her but it's looking very likely.
Had to do that twice, as the first time the middle section came out green :o Laddie had last evening's fish still.
There have been enthusiastic matings since, which I have not kept track of ;)
Now Laddie is eating his fish while Lassie chirps quietly occasionally:
IMAGICAT
Good Morning Scylla and all who follow
Laddie is wiring into his breakfish while Lassie looks around. Maybe she has already had hers.
Oh I can hear voices on a cam now, don't know which one though :-)
EDIT: Think it was DYFI as could hear train as well.

I can't look and greet any possible dear members, too much to follow :-/
Another view of Laddie's activities ;)
I heard mating but by time I went to webcam nothing happening :-) Only Lassie looking out over her domain.
Good morning, CATHY :)

Saved !!!
Morning Cathy
Lassie chirped a little, Laddie says "here I am coming" - mating takes place, then Lassie takes the tail end of the fish and flies off, leaving Laddie padding about on the nest. :-)
