As the season progresses, Laddie (LM12) continues to make occasional visits to the empty webcam nest, defending his area from passing intruders. It is hoped that both he and NC0 have a successful nest in the vicinity of the Loch.

You missed this yesterday, SANDRA
It was a fly on the lens.
Nothing to report up to midnight, except I've had a lot of interruptions due to an update causing picture and video freeze-ups :(

Thank You Sandra for starting the thread.
Scylla I did see that fly too when I was scrolling through looking for any Laddie visits
This has taken almost 40 minutes to get to this stage of posting.
Written @ 05.59 on Edge browser, wonder why they called it Edge, probably because it puts everyone on edge that uses it.

Sorry I missed the fly...! lol
Around 11:30 this morning, there was a quick visit from a raven

19:35 A Raven having a dig around in the nest
It came back again 20 minutes later, making a right mess!
It/they continue to be on and off looking for something tasty to eat within the nesting material
It had an itch on its head so gave it a scratch

Hi Richard, nothing confirmed from Lowes, as far as I'm aware, as to whether another nest around the Loch is actually in use by Laddie and NC0. We can only hope...
Some of the clips from last night 30 June/01 July were messed up due to that Realtek update.
Besides the Raven/s (who sure did give the nest a good going over), I got 2 little birdies - I can't focus well enough to distinguish Coat/Great Tit for the first and am relying on RICHARD for the second, tho I have my suspicion ;)
Then there were more little birdies, including a definite Coal Tit and a black flyer-by but too late to add them on.
That's it up to 02:42.
Agree with the first being a coal tit Scylla - my guess at second maybe a female chaffinch, but haven't stop video to study it.
