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.

Oh, Cirrus {{{hugs}}} I can understand why she reported on this nest so diligently, the sights and sounds are just wonderful.
9:52 An unsuccessful mating attempt, Laddie slipped off and then left the nest
9:59 He was back
Off he went again at 10:00. Hopefully, he'll bring her a breakfish although it is getting close to brunchfish time! lol
Cam zoomed in at 11:57 She had been calling, whether it was for fish or to alert Laddie that she was leaving for a short time, I'm unsure
NC0 headed off for a quick comfort break but has since returned
12:42 Distant chipping then NC0 began vocalising the same as well
12:51 Hopefully, Laddie is dealing with anything untoward
