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
I spent last night reading this thread to catch up and was just blown away with all the updates and captures. Amazing and a huge thanks to all who have contributed :-)

Day 17 Good morning all, thanks for the EM reports. Good to see you here too, Karen :) Great that you saw the beaver again Mary! Let's hope the sun melts all the snow/frosting on the nest.
Laddie has just flapped down from the nest tree - is there an intruder around?
Several chips from Laddie then he flew

9:33 Laddie back with a stick so any threat must have passed
Mating then Laddie left
He returned shortly after, landing on the perch
And gone again!

particularly clearing his nostrils. Something to keep an eye on, perhaps?

Sheila, Laddie appears to be fine this morning,
Karen W said:NCO has been keeping close to the nest cup and appears quite fidgity - I wonder if she is close to laying?
10? minutes ago she was sorting soft stuff very carefully and Laddie suddenly shot off:
I regret that I simply must have a nap, oh woe. Well here's hoping there'll be an egg when I return
IMAGICAT
She is very unsettled, Karen She's has a fragment of stick? stuck to her beak which is annoying her
