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

17.4.21: Blog - NC0 lays her third egg
We've had a few snow flurries here down South, not enough to settle though. Just checked the weather forecast for Dunkeld - a few snow showers predicted but sunny spells too. Gusts of up to 37mph.
The wind caught under her tail and almost upended her

NC0 tidying the nest - she must be bonded to it now, that's a comfort at least
Mostly FF but it's still too long, but I'm all behind again.

She wasn't interested in Laddie's advances at first
Then conceded at his second attempt

Thanks for the vid Scylla, she's done really well to sort out the messy nest.
14:55 Both Laddie and NC0 to the nest
An attempt at mating but too windy for Laddie to settle on her
15:27 Laddie flew in for a quick mating and then off again
So pleased the nest was able to be rejigged! Great vid Scylla, amazing to be able to see how hard she worked, hope weather is a lot kinder from now on!
