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.
At 17:00 Laddie came to the nest with a stick, placed it on the left side of the nest. He left a few minutes later

Tawny Owl calling - quite persistently.
I don't know why, but the sound of a chainsaw being used at 0737 on a bank holiday Monday seems out of place.

Good morning all
Laddie brought a stick to the nest at 10:42, he could be seen flying from right to left over the Loch to the birch area to collect it
Laddie took over incubation once NC0 flew from the nest and made her way to the birch
Minutes before this, a Great Tit sat on a twig overhanging the left side of the nest
