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
Laddie brought the fish and took it away again, and 2 minutes later NC0 flew, I didn't see her fly over the Loch.
And a few minutes later SWT adjusted the cam focus for the night.
IMAGICAT
Laddie brings in a fish, which NCO takes very quietly, and then flies off.

Well that was a strange little episode at Lowes, Laddie arrives with a scraggy looking fish tail, stands with it for ages, looked like he was thinking are you wanting this or not, eventually NC0 comes over and takes it, but don't think she was too enamoured with her breakfish this morning.
7:04 NC0 has returned, flew directly onto the perch. Laddie still on the nest
Edit - Laddie flew at 7:10

While you've all been posting I've been (obliviously) doing the get-go from first landing - Laddie already had the fish when he landed - with weeds dangling:
Laddie flew in but misjudged his landing, feet onto NC0's head/neck.
He didn't misjudge this though!
Thank you Scylla and Richard and Mary and Sandra for the great captures, Just going to do the video now
Well, have to say, not much of a breakfish !
