Arrival dates
Laddie 21.3.21
NC0 25.3.21
It has been great to witness Laddie (LM12) and NC0 renew their bond and also begin to make a safe and cosy nest for impending eggs. It is encouraging to watch NC0 much more comfortable in her surroundings and hope that all continues goes well for them both from here on in.

Thank You for the new thread Sandra.
It has taken me 30 minutes to get into the site, and post on this thread, so is this the old go slow 1st of the month again.

You're telling me, MARY!
NC0 was on the nest until about 20:00, she appeared to be either expecting a fish or warning off an intruder - mixed signals ;)

Laddie flew in over an hour-and-a-half ago, stayed ? 10+ minutes.
He returned over half an hour ago and waited (I'm having to cobble this due to not wanting to stop download in case of important activity) and NC0 arrived:
Laddie flew around for a successful mating:
She hung around afterwards for about 10 minutes, no-one seen since... unless something's happened while I'm typing this.
There is a farmer missing a big chunk of hay this morning, as Laddie (LM12) is topping up the soft furnishings on the nest.

Good morning, you're all very welcome!
Yes, Mary, Laddie is getting the nest well prepared! lol
Thanks for the vid and for your pics too, Scylla - that looked to be a very successful mating first thing!
7:49 Mating. NC0 was very receptive!

Lol, I went off and did something else while waiting for RF - here are my views of "chunks of hay" on their way in:
And I had my willing victim ready:
What a happy nest, I've got everything crossed for this dear couple.
