It is with much regret to report that Lassie (LF15) did not return
MaryGK said:Here is a little video of NC0 trying out the nest cup for size @ 08.05 am this morning...
I should have posted one in my earlier post too, from about an hour later. I was just checking something else and saw that no-one had watched it, and I get few enough views as it is! ;) Thank you for the reminder, Mary :-*
I put this on 2-speed, there's a mating on the end:
Another mating just occurred.
Yes, we'll have to welcome NC0 - I'm already calling her Entsy, cos it's kinda her initials and she's a bit antsy ;)
(I do want Lassie to come home but there will be such a battle if she does :'( The intruder of the past couple of days can't be her, she would never give up so easily.)
IMAGICAT
A lot of glare from the sun on her feathers. Is this NC0?

Just caught a glimpse of her ring before she flew (in addition to her dark necklace)
I agree too Scylla, if it was Lassie that was doing the dive bombing, I cannot believe that she would not land on the nest during these last couple of days when the dive bombing has been happening. It is her nest after all, and surely the instinct would be to land on it, also the nest has had spells of it being empty as well.
There is still time for her to arrive, but her lateness is worrying.
I seem to remember that in 2015 Maya did not return until to 6th April.

Good evening all, thank you Sandra for the new thread and everyone for all the posts today. I gave up attempting after my lunch. I can't bear the thought that Lassie might not return so I'm still hoping she will. This is the type of situation I hate, wasn't there a similar occasion when Laddie got cosy with another female and Lady eventually turned up and turfed her out of the nest. Mixed feelings :(

Good Morning All
The nest was empty when I opened up webcam around 6 am, then when I went back to look at 06.04 they were both on nest, then Laddie flew off.
Yes I remember that as well Starling, didn't he have a quick affair with another female on the other nest just over from this one :-)

Not a lot happening, she is standing up to her knees (I know she doesn't have them) in soft furnishings, making gentle chirps, and looking all around.
