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
***Just before 14:10, a large bird could be seen skimming the Loch, a moment later, NCO began to chip/alarm call. Laddie flew to the nest with a headless fish which NC0 eventually took from him. Both stood warily on the nest, Laddie chipping,
NC0 then flew off with the headless fish.
Laddie took over incubation, threat appeared to have passed
***I think this was just prior to the start of my post (got a bit confused when searching for the skimming bird) - NC0 flapped on the nest...intruder? (top centre of pic)

14:44 Laddie chipped, he was looking over to the left side, and flew off nest. Egg unattended
Laddie returned 14:52

15:51 NC0 returned (her landing on the perch made him jump!)
Both stayed in their positions for a few minutes, Laddie preened before taking flight from the nest. NC0 took over incubation
I found this on scroll back. A lovely site and one perhaps we thought we might not see this season.
View around 4pm.
