Absolutely delighted to have watched three precious eggs being laid. Laddie and NC0 have perfected their incubation duties and, through trying times during April, defended them and the nest from multiple intruding Ospreys. Hopefully, it will not be too long until we see three chicks being cared for by their super parents.
I had a big buffer on that (lovely) scene, SANDRA, and have had numerous since, including lots of nightcam reversions. I can't stay up any longer to monitor it and have had to switch off the downloader, so I probably won't have anything at all to back you up.
After all the trouble I went to to get it onscreen with timeline

Parting shots - please let it have settled down.
He moved!
The cam operator zoomed in on NC0 again (approx. 15:20), eggs were seen briefly. Laddie did land on the nest but didn't stay for long.

The cam zoomed in again at 16:50. NC0 was very fidgety, shimmying on the eggs and changed her position a few times.
