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.
Scene just now ... so nice to see the wind has died down and it much calmer today.

Good morning, KAREN - so glad you had a lovely day. So it must be other birds/critters that are causing concern to Lassie and Laddie, despite us hearing third-party skydancing the other day.
MaryGK said: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. :-)
No Laddie padding, but otherwise I was amused that Lassie was more interested in the fishtail than in her lover's attentions ;)

Hi Scylla - because of us hearing the other skydancing I asked if there had been any reports/sightings of any other ospreys around and told No. I just hope it stays this way as that was a persistent intruder that bothered them last year after he returned.
Lassie has now returned and Laddie takes the ramainging fish and begins eating on the nest
Laddie has now flown with the fish
