I think this will be an interesting season at Loch Arkaig - who is going to take residence is the big question?
For me it doesn't matter who, just as long as the nest is occupied.

Louis brought a part fish at 09.10. It took Dorcha until 09.28 (including a short departure to collect moss) to make a grab for it. When she did he flew off with it. He brought it back at 09.31 and she immediately took it. She finished it on the nest. Mating at 09.53. Ian
