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.

Good morning Scylla, Patily and all
Thanks for the intrusion vid, Scylla!
NC0 had a fly around just before 2am. It was silent and she didn't appear to be spooked by anything
About to take off (went to the left)
She was a way for a few moments then flew towards and over the cam
Zoomed from the back trees and past the nest
Back to the nest
All has appeared to be calm so far this morning, Laddie has had two incubation duties already. NC0 took over from Laddie just before 8:00
Off to work soon. BFN

12:10 Cam is down
16:16 Service has been resumed. NC0 incubating
The cam is buffering on and off
I was quite concerned that, as far as I could see, Laddie hadn't come to the nest since the cam came back on.
21:05 He finally arrived with a well-deserved headless fish for NC0
Laddie was still on incubation duty when nightcam came on
22:01 NC0 returned to the nest, still with some of the fish. She stayed on there for a short while before leaving again (Apologies for the blurred snaps!)
From scroll back: 23:05 NC0 made a sudden on/off landing on the nest (still gripping her fish). She chipped?
Faint chipping heard after she left
23:48 I couldn't find anymore activity. Laddie continues to incubate
23:55 NC0 flew back again. Now tucking into her fish on the perch
00:02 NC0 took over incubation
Signing off now. Goodnight
