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.

I was wondering why I don't hear adult Tawnies like I used to - of course it's because I hardly ever listen!
I was also trying to extract some lightning clips but they are eluding me when I try to narrow them down, and given that it was 35 degrees in here just now and I'm in a right old state, I'm giving up for the sake of my physical and mental health
IMAGICAT
The stream went down this morning around 04:10 until 04:45 I think, I can't tell exactly.
There are 2 clips in here, the first is a sample from pre-03:00 and the second is just as the cam went down:
More to do from 04:45 onwards, back later :)
The cam is buffering for me, has been for at least half an hour
Edit - BT are aware of a major broadband problem in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Not sure if this will affect Lowes?
The cam went down again after recovering for 15 minutes, then kept going for 4+ hours...
This was the end of a lgihtning episode, just enough to illuminate the scene:
Misty or drizzly squalls early after daycam:
A lovely pastel scene:
There were 50 14-second failed attempts in my downloader before I noticed, so I've switched off the monitor. I'll have to somehow remember to keep checking YT, as nothing will happen here until the monitor is revived :(
Yikes I forgot to post my T&L vid - just a sample and may not be the most dramatic available but I found it very difficult to do. And I meant to up the volume and forgot that too.
