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.
Laddie's back again with fish:
IMAGICAT
At last she took it, she's flown with it:
Laddie is pottering.
Lovely morning

In 2017 Lassie arrived back on 23rd March same as this year..... she laid her first egg on 4th of April
So we can start egg watch in less than a weeks time :-)
Two on the nest at the moment..... very windy still
