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.
11.4.21: Blog - NC0 lays an egg
14.4.21: Blog - NC0 lays her second egg
17.4.21: Blog - NC0 lays her third egg
Successful mating. NC0 gave soft 'chirps' prior to this, maybe letting Laddie know that she was more willing?

Only just had chance to watch the STICK-A-THON
IMAGICAT
Another mating
Laddie has since come back to the nest but has just flown off again (top, centre) heading left
Catch up...
NC0 left the nest approx. 10:50 flying from the perch
She came back 5 minutes later via the dead birch (she appeared to fly over the Loch from behind and then did a u-turn back to it) where I think she snapped a twig and brought it to the nest?
Come on Laddie, bring your girl a fish!
11:33 Laddie back, no fish. On alert?
Mating
So relaxed
Laddie back
Off he went again!
Laddie inbound with nesting material
12:11 Laddie chipping - no threat appeared
He flew up behind the cam - not on alert
12:26 Good grief, Laddie! Another mating and away
Lunchtime here - BBL
