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.

Brilliant, SANDRA I'll be on it asap, with fingers and toes crossed.
IMAGICAT
After hours of trial and error... and error... and error
And my snap turns out to be almost the same as YT chose for the thumbnail, dang!
Our mouthy maid - I am reassured that she looks so healthy and self-confident
Good morning Scylla and all
Well done on NC0's video, brilliant! Thank you

Great video scylla. Lovely to see her. I'm surprised there's been no word from the Lowes staff. They must be visiting the site from time to time and it would be nice to know if they've seen juveniles fishing even if the usual nest isn't being used. That way we'd know if the pair had bred somewhere nearby. I wonder if they'll ever come back to this nest?
If NC0 had young on another nest, would she be fish calling on the camera nest? Ian
I've just scrolled back the footage, NC0 to the nest at 21:00, once again fish calling. She had flown from the direction of the dead tree, left side of the Loch and was heard before she came into view. She stayed for about 10 minutes
21:10ish She left the nest, flying back over the Loch and as far as I could tell, settled on the top of the dead tree

This is more heavily edited than the previous visit and I haven't attempted to include any distant activities.
Not long before daycam our two lovely Tawny juves paid a short visit - there were shadow activities for a little while before they arrived, not included:
Good morning Scylla and all,
Awww, what a delightful Tawny juveniles video, aren't just they gorgeous! Many thanks
Apart from a brief raven visit to the nest around 6:20 nothing to report up to 9:35
