For reasons known only to them, Laddie (LM12) and this season's new female, NC0, have made the decision not to use the webcam nest. We can only hope that they are safe and successfully incubating eggs somewhere in the immediate area of the Loch and that, as this month progresses, they will grace us occasionally with their presence on camera. In the meantime, we will continue to enjoy, and report on, the sights and sounds of this beautiful location.

Nice start to the thread Sandra Thank You!

You're welcome!
Kind regards, Ann
Lovely morning at Lowes, at least we know that its been fine weather if NC0 is incubating elsewhere on the Loch.

Great Tits were on the nest a couple of times, plus this bird that might be one of them but the light was "difficult" and it didn't face us at all - only there 20 seconds.
EDIT - ID added following RICHARD's advice below.
IMAGICAT
I love a puzzle but my ID skills aren't great. Meadow pipit? Beak too fat? Dunnock? Or.....'just a chaffinch'?
It's a Redstart
The black face and blueish/grey back is a bit of a giveaway

Thank you, RICHARD !!! :)
A great tit on the nest this morning
11:58 Gunshots. Chipping heard. A large bird landed on the top of the dead tree on the left
It looks like an osprey. Still there at 12:05
