Here's hoping for a successful 2020 season.
Link to last thread, September 2019 - February 2020.
Sandra first reported 2 birds on the nest at 19.12 on 4 April 2019. Louis and Aila were back! They laid 3 eggs, one failed, but we hope to see chicks Mallie and Rannoch - both female (although some doubt about Mallie) within a few years, maybe even next.

Thank you for all that, Ian.
Here's a "nice" surprise from last evening:
IMAGICAT
06-16 am Robin on song with a nice wake up song :)
(Lovely owl capture scylla -- woot woot )
I got the Robin's pre-daycam pop-iin and then a Coal Tit - but missed the Robin in between! >:(
EDIT - No I didn't, I thought Trying was reporting a later appearance :)
scylla said: It always cuts off/reboots @ 03:00 tho, that's routine.
04:00 from now on, of course.
This morning 06:01 - it didn't turn our way or even give us a profile:
Countdown getting closer now..... maybe they will be early (wishing) :-)
Louis and Aila are so lucky to nest in such a wonderful area, can you imagine flying around here.
A couple of photos I took when I went up there in 2017 - not great photos, as light a bit dull, but it is such a special place.

Well I think they are great - so atmospheric :-*
Yesterday was very quiet on the nest - I mean even more quiet than usual, as I didn't find our Robin :'( Around 07:30 deer were active down below, and later, midges over the nest, and later still, more creepy-crawlies on the nest than I've seen up to now.
