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.

Unknown said:Yes thanks Sandra for all your excellent coverage. I continue to be distracted by Loch Garten
You're very welcome, Korky. What a wonderful and exciting distraction that is! So pleased for all at LG - fingers crossed everything settles there and it's a successful season! :)

Poor NC0 - she half stood up on sensing the intruder, but that was really close!
A short video has been posted on SWT's YT channel. Official time of laying egg #3, 12:14
NC0 lays her third egg of the season
14:35 NC0 returned to the nest. Laddie with a mating attempt after he rose from the eggs but NC0 kept her tail well and truly down! lol

NC0 lays her 3rd egg!
14:50 Fish from Laddie.
NC0 carried it off in her beak
Laddie with his 3 precious eggs
15:00 Laddie chipping. No reaction from NC0 who, I imagine, was enjoying eating her fish
15:03 NC0 left the birch and, after a flight over the Loch behind the trees, she landed on the cam post
Laddie has chipped on occasion since
I'm taking a break for a little while. BBL
