Last season Louis and Aila arrived on their nest almost at the same instant on the 4th of April. Here's to a repeat, but a few days earlier to save our anxiety.

Oh Louis is bad this morning, he brought in a tail end of a fish and proceeded to eat it on the nest.
eventually Aila managed to grab it from him, but its nothing more than a mere morsel.
Come on Louis get out there and bring her something substantial :-)
Poor thing she has just gobbled up the tail in one go.
Now she is still calling, and he is ignoring her

10.42, Louis is on the nest looking away from the camera, Aila is on her perch I would say for the first time this year.
EDIT - she was also on the perch for quite some time from 09.13.
10.45, Louis has just tried to mate while Aila is on the perch, needless to say he failed :) Ian
11.36, very nice fish delivered. Aila takes it straight away. Aila flies off but leaves the fish on the nest so Louis takes it. When she returns he mantles over it & flies with it.
11.41, Louis returns with the fish, this time Aila has a good grip of it as she flies with it. Ian

Yes!
Ian S said:is there any chance of a clip of the skydancing at 15.58/15.59 on 8 April?
There should have been no chance because the files go into the Recycle Bin after checking thru - and my RB has been misbehaving for months, not keeping stuff like it used to - but it's there!
Except I could hardly hear the skydancing. I've increased the volume two-fold, but not reduced the background noise, as that tends to give a distorted result.
