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
From what I have found, there have been two additional (what appeared to be) successful matings
One before 11:00
And again just now, 11:32

Thank you for stalwart reporting, SANDRA - you need to be rewarded by NC0 with a long, long sit-down and...
IMAGICAT
You're very welcome, Scylla I live in hope...lol :)
As a reminder of last season, NC0 arrived on 28th March and was seen to be incubating an egg (on the other nest) on the 16th April - so a 19 day wait. - I assume we have to take into account that she was a young bird and there were lots of various 'disturbances'. We are now on day 15
NC0 not interested this time
Another fish from Laddie...gosh, NC0 is getting spoilt today! lol
She took it off-nest to eat
A pleasure, Cirrus!
13:49 Very close mating 'chirps' heard, maybe both are in the nest-cam tree
Laddie's shadow over the nest a second before
Edit - (From slow-mo) Laddie's wing tip (top right) as he flew to the nest tree
