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
NC0 came back, Laddie has since gone again!
Before he left, she didn't want any 'affection', choosing to peck at him a few times for him even to try mating...significant??
I'm off for a while. BBL

There was beautiful sunshine 20 minutes ago!
Don't blame her, Alison.
A little bit of a catch up...
Just after 19:00, NC0 left the nest (no alarm calling) and headed for the birch tree. There was another quite large bird sitting on top of the left-hand branch - she ushered it off and there was a bit of a chase over that side of the Loch. A few screenshots
She came back to the nest a little while after and delivered a stick
Some nestcupping
and sitting in the nest cup (the weather began to change at this time)
Just before she left the nest
Scene at 19:55
NC0 flying in, landed on the perch, Laddie flew in with a fish...I wonder if it was him on the birch just after 19:00 and she was hurrying him to bring her a fish? Both came onto the nest from that area
As she took the fishhfrom him, Laddie moved slightly and placed his left talons on it! lol She pulled it away from him!
Laddie left the nest, NC0 followed suit (with her supper) a few seconds after him
Laddie back to the nest at 20:28 and very kindly cleared the nest cup of snow
He left the nest but then returned approx. 20:36 giving a couple of soft calls
Landing...
Looking around
Left the nest at 20:40
