LOCH ARKAIG (The Woodland Trust) - JUNE 2019

I am just suggesting the second adult on the nest in your pics ... @MaryGK...may not in fact be Louis. I couldn't see enough identifier features, or behaviour traits, to convince me it was Louis.

Lovely captures MARY Particularly like where the whole family is gazing out
All caalm now with Aila brooding and one chick preening tucked up close to mum

I am sure that was Louis that mated with Aila - Trying....  have done a video and is uploading now.  

I'll bow to better eyes than mine

Last evening's fishes were not at all camera-friendly!

More rain:

She returnes from a flyabout with a ruffed collar:

A very few minutes' peace ;)

During one of Mama's absences, no idea what size this will be :-/

Ruffed collar again:

Watchful - but no disturbances seen:

I'm waiting on the intruder video now.  I thought that it was the intruder who landed, not Louis defending - but my recognition skills are legend ;)

That didn't last long Suddenly Aila was up an alert and has flown with one call Could see her flying away in the distance Another intruder?

Chick doing well flapping and now chuttering Is it saying " Look what I just did"

Aila just returned

Aila just returned

Not at all Trying - I think Aila is feistier than stand side by side with an intruder without attempting to get rid of him 

Here is the video, at least it will save SCYLLA some time later on, (if she sees it) 

People can make their own minds up

AAAARGH know how Scylla feels at times - You Tube is acting up, said video finished, Ooops they have a problem and video won't show as says processing not finished.  You are a Saint Scylla putting up with this day on day. :-)   

EDIT - After a second attempt at uploading.   Quality is rubbish for some reason :-(

If Liz Bracken was watching with her bins she might have got a good view for ID.
