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.

No-one found all night, but a bit after 06:00 Laddie flew in with a stick to defend. A second osprey was seen in the air but not clearly.
He came twice, the second time staying much longer.
Perhaps SANDRA will get us some snaps from rollback, I'm flagging already!

I hope you're joking {{{PATILY}}} ... If I'd'a known you'd be popping in I wouldn't have specified Sandra, she's usually our rollback queen
I had come over very tired but have had a second wind, probably to be short-lived ;)

We obviously don't know but she was on the nest the other day, briefly - but I had a download disaster, it was corrupted, I could only salvage this tiny clip.
A few pages back, STARLING posted a load of snaps of the occasion.
Anyway, I think that indicates that they probably are still together, and I think I said I hoped that meant they were bonding deeply ready for next season, or something like that ;)
Sandra P said:NC0 paid a visit to the nest on 22nd July (as wonderfully captured by Starling) so is still in the area
Yes I've just been back and edited my post with the correct attribution and a link
Just after 16:00 the cam operator moved the view slightly from this
...to this, which it has stayed

20:29 I need to double check but it appears NC0 is on the nest fish calling (her calls could be heard a minute or two prior to landing and a raven voicing its disapproval once she arrived)
Confirmed - NC0 on the ring
Pic above zoomed in and auto-corrected
20:38 She flew from the nest but was involved in an immediate altercation/chase with another bird over the the left side of the Loch, close to the nest (I couldn't get a clear capture but possibly a raven judging by the sound of its calls)
20:51 She's somewhere close by, still calling
21:10 And she continues
21:25 It's been silent for just over 5 minutes
