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.

I'm on my lunch break and have only had time to take a quick scroll through up to around 9am Just before 8:50 NC0 wasn't very happy, I originally thought she was flapping her wings as exercise, BUT it was at an unringed male intruder who was keeping her company on the nest
She was very much alarmed!

That fixed it but it takes so much faffing to get back to normal service
Here's NC0's early morning from dawn to Laddie eventually taking over, with 2 unwelcome male visits in between - with the guidance of RICHARD & MARY's snaps and all-seeing SANDRA's reports
I already have to pack up for a nap.
Fab, thanks Scylla!
Just before 14:30, Laddie delivered fish to NC0
She took it to the birch
There has since been a change over with NCO incubating again i
15:50 Laddie came to the nest with a headless fish, once again, NC0 collected and flew from the nest.
Laddie started chipping/flapping and flew from the nest, leaving the eggs unattended.for just over 6 minutes before NC0 returned (from the nest tree itself
