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.

18:04 A headless fish delivery to NC0
She took it off nest (from the right) and then her flight took her over the Loch (behind the nest) towards the birch. She landed there after making a short detour.

Yes Mike, if i didn't know different I could imagine a magnficent autumnal day. :)
Mike B said:Helen, it has been asked for before but I'd get in touch with the team and see if they can help. Details on SWT website. Some sites will not have them.....don't ask!! It's like Marmite you either love it or hate it!
Thanks Mike,
I can't remember whether there was one last year- I can only ask for one and await the reply?!
Dear HELEN - And while you're at it, could you please report the same inexcusable omission to Glaslyn and Dyfi admins?
(I've just had to delete a huge rant, suffice to say that I am very upset by and uncomprehending of their decisions not to embed a timeline.)
On a cheerier note - something about NC0's "look" made me snap her, even tho her beak is lost, as so often against a dark background, and she had to be cropped so she's rather low-res:

I'm not sure if I've got the optimal view because it's a bit earlier, in order to cover fish and Laddie's performance:

My old brain gets very tired counting backwards remembering to subtract from 60 rather than a hundred, and then I have to allow for the length of the clip I was taking, so I usually say 'around' or 'about' x time in the description. A discreet on-screen date and clock would be soooooo helpful. It's not like it costs a fee to have one. I agree some screens look too cluttered - thinking of Urdaibai - but taking Rutland for example, their lovely timeline doesn't detract from or obscure any action, so wonder what the rationale is behind the omission?
