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
On listening to the sound again, a branch snapped as well as flapping and short chirps then a flyaway...was it mating I'm now asking myself? Please hope it wasn't a stick being collected for the other nest!!!
I'm still on scroll back
19:15 Fish calling very close by, hoping it's NC0 in the nest cam tree!
19:22 Mating heard...a white feather fluttered down after Laddie flew off
Laddie, I assume, flight over the Loch (left of pic) after leaving the tree

19:32 She's still calling for fish. Saw movement, bottom left corner - A bird flew up from among the base of the bare trees (bottom left) then over to the right. NC0's calls became quite loud at that time
19:43 Laddie in with a clump of nesting material
NC0 on the nest! Saw a tiny bit of her wing (on the right side) as she flew from the nest tree. Left over the Loch and round to fly onto the nest
