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.

17.4.21: Blog - NC0 lays her third egg

Yes, really hoping so, Ailie :)
Laddie just arrived 19.45pm with a lovely orange clump of bedding and was sorting it out.
Come on now NCO, I have done my bit, here is a nice cosy bed, get laying!

Lol, Catlady!

She flew off at 20:08
20:20 NC0 returned, started preening and gave a shake of her head- I wonder if she has taken a quick bath/dip?
Sorting out some nesting material
A stretch and then she left
Back quite soon after (her flight was via the birch corner) and didn't have to wait long until Laddie arrived - mating then he flew off
20:32
20:44
20:47 She's been looking across the Loch on a number of occasions, this was the direction from which Laddie flew in for their last mating
20:51 Still there as the light fades
20:52 Night cam on
