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.

.The EG/accident episode - there's some glitchiness, I checked with the download version and that was the same, maybe not quite as bad as my screen capture:
The work goes on:
But we don't always get it right:
IMAGICAT
Oooh, thanks Scylla!
15:35 NC0 refused Laddie's attempt at mating...she wants a fish!
16:46 First a chunk of wood/bark..
17:15 ...and now a clump of grasses! He sped round from beyond the birch corner to deliver that
Really, Laddie?! Now go get your girl a fish!
17:47 The cam zoomed in on NC0
Instant live snap !!!
The cam changed at 18:43 and is still, at present, zoomed in to show NC0 on her perch at the nest...beautiful!
Back to normal nest view at 19:04 after she came off the perch and onto the nest itself. A quick zoom again when Laddie landed for a short time after bringing in a small piece of dark brown bark. Just prior to his arrival, I'm pretty sure there were skydancing calls.
19:05 Skydancing calls. NC0 looking up
Laddie and the bark
Before he flew off the nest. NC0 was shouting for fish!
