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.

17:00 NC0 rose from incubation and gave her wings a really good shake
She made a short contact call and headed off the nest
Laddie was to the nest in a matter of moments. He looked very dry so must have found a good sheltered spot to keep out of the rain. He gave a few contact calls as he landed
He'd just got himself comfortable in the nest cup when NC0 flew over
18:00 Laddie continues to incubate
Hopefully, once NC0 returns, Laddie will be able to fish.

18:07 Chipping and alarm calling from Laddie
Flapping
More flapping as he headed back to the nest cup
NC0 returned a very short time after he'd settled. Laddie was on alert and semi-stood up perhaps thinking it was an intruder
Laddie preparing to leave
Laddie left the nest
NC0 took over incubation.
At 20:24, Laddie could be seen dipping his toes in the Loch and flying round behind the trees at the back of the nest. NC0 silently watched him
Laddie didn't come to the nest until 20:47. NC0 let him know that she would like a fish
Getting ready to leave
21:17 Perhaps Laddie will bring NC0 an early breakfish in the morning
