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
20:00 NC0 to the nest (from the nest tree), waited a few seconds then Laddie came in with a headless fish. Laddie has excelled himself - it's an absolute whopper!!
He appeared to clear his nostrils a few times after NC0 had collected the fish from him
NC0 flew off in the direction of the birch then did a u-turn to fly from left to right over the Loch
20:04 Laddie left the nest

It seems so strange seeing Ospreys on a nest covered in snow.

Laddie (and his huge crop!) returned
Shifted a stick
Cleared the nest cup of snow (just like he did last time!)
He left, again, at 20:25
Just to note - he cleared his nostrils, on a couple of occasions, once again

Nest was empty when I first looked, but I am sure that is the beaver swimming across the Loch, happened about same time yesterday morning too.

@ 06.28 EMN takes place - NC0 didn't stay long after it, probably freezing her talons off in the snow.
Nice fly away Laddie
