2021 return dates: LM12 (Laddie) - 21st March; NC0(16) - 25th March
Laddie and NC0 were an exceptional team during 2021, successfully raising two very feisty and well fed juveniles, LR1 and LR2. LR2 was sighted in Southern Spain on 3.9.21 and again on 25.10.21
2022 marks Laddie's 11th breeding year, NC0's 3rd, and very much hope that our wonderful pair have a safe, spring migration back to this stunning nest location at Loch of the Lowes.

From the corner of my eye it looks like Laddie is mating mad but NC0 might rather have a fish now ;)
EDIT - Oops, I've turned the page - all the morning's activities from get-go are on previous page, up to a point but I have to check lots of other nests.
IMAGICAT
A gunshot !!!
The rest of the morning is taking me so long, I'll post this now...
I just checked the title above to make sure I'm not in the wrong thread
Where is everyone today?!
Anyway, dear NC0 recoveed from the gunshot shock to chase off the Egyptian Geese! And others? Couldn't tell but she's been busy, and I think Laddie teased her with the fish but it was worth waiting for. When she had a quiet spell she crashed my editor, I need a break!
Confirmation from Lowes, in case we all weren't sure...
16:18 NCO dived into the Loch from the birch

18:04ish NC0 flew from the birch to the nest to meet Laddie who was waiting
Mating
18:15 NC0
One of the two has just landed, flapping. Now looking and waiting. Another flap and a fly-off.
EDIT - I played it back - just a Tawny call in advance, plus ducks and moo-cows heard.
EDIT 2 - Fly-off, just for the helluvit:
