LOCH OF THE LOWES - MARCH 2021

She's flown again. Seemed to be heading for the dead trees very top left which they have used before. Camera has cut the tops off but she can be seen to fly straight there.

Exactly the same direction Laddie flew off the nest with the fish, Mike

I think she flew past the trees as could see her behind them near bottom

Laddie just returned with a tail end of the fish. No sign, yet, of NCO although there has been a lot of calling?>

18:07 Laddie back again, no fish with him this time, let's hope he handed the remnants over to NC0

18:17 He flew off the nest to the right

16:47 Loud chirps heard then Laddie arrives with a fish

Just to show in real time how narrowly she missed that fine fish:

I also meant to put a caption on saying it was looking hopeful that NC0 is starting to "possess" this nest.

This morning - no nest visits overnight, up to a couple of minutes ago.

Windy morning!  Laddie flew in and waited expectantly, floatily mantled in the wind and NC0 landed...

I hear mating chirps...

Here's the video - I couldn't hear skydancing clearly enough to work on it, I think it must have been blown away.

Looking even gooder, with another mating after Laddie brought in a stick!

Morning Scylla - Yes it was a good start

Laddie appeared on the nest at 06.06 am 

Followed by NC0 a minute later

and next thing mating - by the looks of the tail it was a good one

NC0 still on the nest at 06.54 and has been food calling off and on
