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.

Sandra P said: Two separate calls and a hoot too. Would be lovely if they visited the nest!
I've just come across them, SANDRA, and am popping in to leave a snap and say that it will be a heckuva task creating a watchable video - and finding the best pre-arrival sounds will be even more heckuva
Mighta know'd you'da spotted them
To be going along with, heehee, it's just a 2-owl shot grabbed at random, there doesn't seem to be much of 2 on the nest:
Ohhh for a timeline!

I decided not to attempt a variety - from what I could hear there wasn't much of that and I couldn't find any Tawny hooty sounds.
I tried to lower the volume in the MovieMaker editor with which I join up the clips, but it doesn't seem to work. I usually do audio edits on the finished version with another program but haven't got the oomph to go thru that this morning. So watch out for too-loud "squawks".
MARY - Will your MovieMaker adjust volume? Mine will only mute.
Lovely video Scylla. When my Moviemaker was working yes I could adjust video sound, unfortunately it has completely bombed out on me now, it freezes as soon as I try to load anything to it, so I am sill researching an alternative program.
That’s great to see Scylla. Excellent to get an actual visual confirmation.
Oh, how absolutely wonderful to see the pair of them! Fab vid Scylla thank you
MovieMaker:

Therefore I can't see that you've anything to lose, uninstalling (rebooting) and reinstalling it from a different exe file. I'm saying that because most other video editors baffle me - but I wouldn't put it past you to master one in no time, once you put your mind to it
I'd better post something ON-topic...but I can't find anyone on the nest so it'll have to be the runaway grasses in Laddie's absence:
It is no longer available from Microsoft Scylla so I wouldn’t risk downloading it from anywhere else.
Oh my those grasses are getting very long ha ha....
From scroll back. Only a few visitors that I've found so far today...
Around 11:00 Laddie onto the nest, chipping. Another brief visit
11:20ish A raven
14:45ish A fly on the cam lens!
