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
Ta Wendy, had to rewind and slow down the footage to get them! NC0 was valiant! Will she ever get some peace and quiet in order to lay an egg!?

He rested with her for a while, she gave some soft calls which Laddie may have thought meant she wanted mating. When getting into position, she pecked at him on two occasions then he flew off!

You're very welcome, Cirrus
She left the nest approx. 16:16 and it sounded as if she may have clipped a branch? after she was out of view
I heard rustling a couple of minutes later so may now be back and taking cover in the nest tree
