LOCH ARKAIG - THE WOODLAND TRUST - APRIL 2021 to END OF FEBRUARY 2022

15.03, they are back, the female is still fish calling. I don't know why as her crop looks quite full, does this mean he is feeding her on another nest? Ian

George quoted in the Gazette today:

Can do better, must try harder! 15.23

10.11 They are back! Same old. 152 arrived first, followed by Young Pretender. 152 fish soliciting and Young Pretender faux mantling initially.
He now has his back to her, ignoring the calls!

Thank goodness for sound, otherwise I would have missed it!

10:22 it looks like a successful mating attempt this time. I wish he wouldn't ignore her calls and go fishing!

I'm not so sure, Janni. Her tail was well up, and although he was well balanced I don't think he brought his tail down and round....
10.25.50 Young Pretender flew. 152 continues to call.
They must have fed yesterday. I wonder where? The exchange wasn't on the nest - at least no on reported it. Have they got another nest/platform, and they have yet to make up their minds? I understand there are a few platforms in the area.
152 is still on the nest

She is very quiet now. Has he gone fishing?!
