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.

not sure whether its Lassie or Laddie on the nest at present
Lassie seems to have a tail end in her talons. She hopped around, clinging on to something - unless she had her foot caught on a large piece of stick.
18.00 Laddie landed briefly, mantled and flew off.
All this was just before I heard a Tawney Owl call. I heard one when I was there on Wednesday too!
Geese calling below! Oh, I do love the sounds on this cam.

The nest has taken a bit of a battering today too.
10.51 all looks OK in the front
but now the side seems to have collapsed a bit. I'm sure it wont' be long before they have it sorted!
MaryGK said:Lassie and Laddie appeared on the Scottish evening news a few moments ago.
Good PR!!
