No idea, Cirrus, it's shame she isn't ringed

From what i remember she had quite a dark necklace and for a split second i confused her with NC0, so i don't know.  The second time, when she landed on empty nest I thought it was clearer to see.

no it's not !!Lassie isn't ringed. am I  clutching at straws?

Cirrus I would say that the consensus opinion, including that of Loch of the Lowes, is that none of the unringed female sightings have been Lassie. Unfortunately, it does look like you are clutching at straws. Sorry, Ian

Good Morning All

Looks a nice morning at Lowes, the usual routine this morning, back and forth to the nest etc, mating, more mating and just some more to be sure.

Hello Mary I know you are watching me 

Look at my balancing skills LOL

Thanks for the photos Mary! New to all this so can I ask the experts when they think we might start seeing eggs being laid on this nest?

Hi Sam

As it is a new pairing it will probably be longer before the eggs are laid, but I am no expert, in this instance it could be a wait and see.   

Last year Laddie arrived on 23rd April and Lassie laid her first egg on 4th April, so probably add on a few more days to these times Sam.  

Thanks Mary - we'll wait and see then! All looks very peaceful at the moment - unlike yesterday when they were being tossed around all over the place!
