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.
Early Morning N. time
Was funny Laddie misjudged his aim and slid right off Lassies back.....
The look on Lassies face says it all :-) He did do the deed properly later though.

Its "preen, SHOUT, preen, SHOUT, preen, SHOUT" Laddie you better get her a fish quick!!! :-)
He was listening, MARY :) (Good morning! I've been so remiss !!! )
IMAGICAT
Chipping, and Laddie has come to support Lassie - squawker/s flying nearby, passed on...
With 7 alarm calls Lassie flew off to attack! Then chipping heard (but we don't know how long the lag is today).
She's standing by the nestcup now, relaxed.
