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.

What an awful tech night while I was asleep - I've got loadsa gaps

Lights coming 'n going on the Loch caught my attention - I bet they're there every night
No-one seen up to about 06:45.

Starling said:Lovely captures of Laddie Sandra. The last two captures of the raven, such beautiful colours, must have been a really nice day there.
Hi Starling, thank you, it was great to see Laddie, as always!
Yes, such a beautiful day. The Loch looked so inviting to dive (or in my case, belly flop!) into! lol

I haven't got him
I have a huge gap between the end of the previous clip and the start of Laddie's @ 13:36. (Have had a mass clear-out of hard drive, just in case its crowdedness was slowing it down.)
The Raven was in the same 6-hour clip:
I was so hoping for a sensational appearance to compensate - but nowt up to 07:50
I stopped that last clip before the 6 hours was up, and watched the live stream in case something happened while it was finalising - and it took 10 minutes and the next clip won't start until it's done. It never used to take so long but the Support people won't believe me.

Your and scylla's dedication to this nest is admirable Sandra! It's great that you've seen both Laddie and NCO. I'd like to think they had chicks this year. I guess I'd hoped one of them might visit this nest too, but I suppose they'd only land on it if mum or dad had brought a fish. I wonder if this nest will be used next year by Laddie/NCO? If not, it's prime real estate so hopefully another pair might take up residence.
