Although they didn’t use the webcam nest last year, Laddie and new female, NC0, successfully raised one chick within the vicinity of the Loch. Blog hereHoping that both have a safe migration back to Lowes, and delight us with their presence on cam this season.

19:02 NC0 subtly fish calling while looking across to the other side if the Loch. I wonder if Laddie is over in that area with her supper?

1930 ish, Laddie brings in a fish and hands it over without any argurment. After a few minutes NCO leaves and Laddie turns to nestorizing..

I was hoping to supply a snap but it was blurred on the way in (a well-headlessed fish) and on her way out NC0 took nest material, disguising it
Here are some bits, they'll be in the wrong order and I hope no dupes.
This is a must-watch - will NC0 turn into a force to be reckoned with? She fetched this big stick without drawing a breath:
And again!
Good matings (please take my word for it), of which there were more among the rebuffs or incompetencies:
As you all have observed, NC0 has been very nesty today:

It was NC0 nestcupping, Patily. I agree, Scylla's video was perfect! NC0 flew off over in the direction of the dead birch. Shortly after, Laddie came to the nest with a fish, waited awhile before leaving. NC0 made a beautiful flight back to the nest (from behind the dead birch) with a thick stick (pics below)
