Dear Lamb, he waited 45 minutes but no sign of NC0 :'(
IMAGICAT
Reference frustration nests, there is a nest in USA (the one that had poor Bailey in 2017 who suffered lots of issues including wasps on the nest & a great horned owl attack) the name of which I can't remember. They have/had a second nest. I seem to recall however that the male used it as a sort of bachelor pad rather than it being a second family home. In 2019 for a while it looked like Louis & Aila at Loch Arkaig might have abandoned the camera nest for another one. They were seen checking out a potential second nest and were absent from the camera nest for a good number of days. Ian
I remember that vividly. It was what led to me starting to check out other nests, as it looked - for a little while - like we might not have anything to watch there.
Happily, they eventually settled on the streamed nest.

Aww Scylla, you just missed him. Laddie paid a brief visit at 10:26(ish)
Edit - he looked fully cropped

NC0 popped on and off the nest - a few chirps
Edit - From scroll back - No, not NC0 but an unringed female! She was only there for only a matter of seconds. Sorry, my mistake
Another visit by the unringed female and then NC0 onto the nest and off to chase
Unringed
Before flying off
NC0 to the nest, chipping
Sandra I don't see any ring either.
