IMAGICAT
Sorry Scylla, just a bit disappointed in NC0. Laddie has just popped back and forth a couple of times.
NCO on the nest, Laddie was NOT catching a fish as I first posted but bringing in a stick, no wonder she looked rather uninterested. I'm off to the opticians next week, things should improve.

JaneV said:NCO on the nest, Laddie looked to be catching a fish to the right and then came in from the left, landed but then took off with it.
Either your eyes are even worse than mine, or I'm misunderstanding - I can only find that event as a stick, which was deposited when he mantled in the nestcup and NC0 was hoping he had a fish but he flew off:
Sorry if I'm spreading misinformation - but at least I'd be in fashion if that's the case I'm so addled with everything today, am going to take a break.
Just scrolled back to when she first landed on the nest, Laddie flew in and it looked like a successful mating. The second one, as reported by Jane V, was definitely a failed attempt probably more due to the strong wind holding Laddie back
Her tail was up after he left
12:22 NC0 is still on the nest
