It is with much regret to report that Lassie (LF15) did not return
And again, twice, a couple of minutes ago (sorry, just serving up my dinner)

I've just scrolled back and it appeared to be an osprey (NC0?) falling off the left side of the nest after bringing in a stick

The second clatter I heard was the osprey flapping out from the trees and then flying over the Loch...phew! I hope it's ok
it's going to be tomorrow before I catch up on all nests' events
Just a sketch of the morning's getgo...
Laddie landed @ 05:36 but only stayed a minute.
NC0 arrived @ 05:43 and waited and listened while Laddie skydanced - he landed 05:48 and did a couple of slide-off attempted matings, not her fault? then a couple of loud* flappy fly-around-about via the Loch and away, not seen again until 06:08, when he landed and pottered in the nestcup, NC0 having waited and was fish-calling quietly:
*Sound is way out of sync again hope to find NC0's "amazing" vocal, as reported by HELEN.
==============================
Just now (this is going to be very disorganised, time-wise!):
IMAGICAT
Thanks Scylla, grateful that activity is noted
It was NC0 that had the nest mishap
Prior to her going over the edge of the nest
She looked fine around 18:08 (just over an hour after the accidental slip)
She brought in another stick !!!
It stretched for there to there:
Then Laddie flew in for mating - it was a washout again, she might have been willing but too slow to respond so the timing was out and he flew unfulfilled.
