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.

I was just about to post that korky. He really pushed her off those eggs, and he's not long had a turn!
He arrived with a clump of something, moved some bits of bark and then decided he would do some incubating LOL
Birdies LG DU update.
Morning Mike and Patily
Yes he does have a habit of leaving the eggs Patily. He did it the other day, left them for almost 30 minutes.
Lassie is standing on the nest while he continues to incubate. She is doing her one leg ballerina pose.
Laddie isn't budging though....
He looks so innocent doesn't he.

Good morning Mary. Great captures.
I wonder if the watchers have any idea where he goes?. Is he perched close by out of camera shot? I'll try and find out later.
