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.

SWT - Loch of the Lowes
Spent lovely time at Loch of Lowes on Monday, unfortunately too early to be there when egg sitting was going on...but at least got to see Laddie and Lassie with my naked eye...and nearly a loch fishing dive by Laddie from an eye piercing hover, before he decided to go elsewhere for his lunch.
As many better close up pics have been caught from webcam stream grabs...I'll just post a couple of non streamed pics you may find of interest...
