LM12 arrived on Friday 15 March, and his regular mate, LF15, on Saturday 23 March. Since then, we've seen them renewing their bond, with skydancing, mating, fish, mating, more fish, more mating, oh, and perfecting the nest. Going on their past performance from the 4 years they've been together, I reckon we can expect the first egg to be laid anytime from 4 April onwards. (Thanks to Chloe B and Tiger for this fabulous data-rich website)

I’ll leave you on overnight duty Heron77. I’m not planning on accidentally posting she’s laid an egg. Or did I just dream I had..?

Noticed this tweet from Lowes telling us about their first Ranger.

And how lovely, and also so appropriate, that the crannog hide was named after him in his honour.

Lassie is back on the nest.
I'll have to do it on "this" laptop and be paralysed for the duration :(
