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.

Very windy here ... Lassie was hunkered down and soon Laddie flew in

It does that every morning and night, PATILY, sometimes takes ages to settle. I have to put the lid down on the laptop, it's so distracting. But I'm not complaining!
The morning so far, Lassie having survived a bumpy night.
Laddie stayed ont he nest for quite a while:
No2 of the day:
Despite this determined look, held for some time:

She flew:
Laddie returned, where the heck is she?!
Here she is:
No fishing for Laddie, it's just too windy... is it?
Then it was ENS for quite a while, now they are both on the nest looking at 'someone' in unison:
