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 left the nest, off to the right, but could be seen flying over the Loch (behind the back trees) in the direction of the dead birch. She's just arrived back at the nest

NC0 was very unresponsive to Laddie on his latest visit
NC0 nestcupping
20:26 NC0 has flown. There is a bird sitting on top of the middle part of the dead birch and she kept looking in that direction while on the nest - as to whether that is Laddie is anyone's guess (perhaps too small?). I know he regularly flies round from the birch corner to bring in a fish so maybe she was just on the look out
20:44 Night cam on. ENS
Good Morning All
Laddie on the nest prox. 05.55 am, NC0 ??? decided to fly over and didn't land on nest.
Laddie not too bothered then.

NC0 flew in again at approx. 06.10, there was some EMN, then Laddie flew off leaving her on the nest.
Good morning Mary, Patily and all NC0 fish calling. Can she see Laddie on top of the left branch of the dead birch? There appears to be a bird there
Lovely EM snaps, Mary, thank you
7:34 FISH! Yes it was Laddie on the dead birch
Flying over the Loch heading to the nest
It's a whopper of a headless fish
NC0 flew off with it heading towards the birch but then did a u-turn heading back past the nest on the left hand side
Flight back past the nest
