LOCH GARTEN - May 2022

I've love to know what they got up to when they left LG last year after just a month on the nest. Interesting that they both made a bee-line for it again in their second year. Did they stay together? I assume they did. Why didn't they go back to the nest they had before, if they did. Too many questions LOL.

For sure, all good questions! And Mistle seems to be wearing the pants in this relationship. I must go now, SYAL. EDIT: Mistle called, flew off and Axel flew in a minute later, 17.21

Thebookssay....... without a doubt............. if they had and nhad been sucessful taising young last year rhey would be baxk there this year. ALL the evidence we have seen, to me, says this year they are both 1st time parents.

My turn to lay an egg

CRinger, I'm not suggesting they bred, but I wondered whether they found a nest or tried to build one together. Perhaps the winter storms broke it up.
'Axel's stick' is precariously balanced on another, it's rocking like a see-saw in the wind.

It's possib;eSheila - we will never know!

RF opened @ 18:30, so anything y'all post between now and then will be missed till after - I'm taking my time

What a lovely change-back-over this morning:

YouTube is on a go-slow checking copyright again :(

The happy morning continues, with FISH in, out and returned

If you haven't got time for previous videos, here is...

Featured shortie "Mistle tried to juggle a little stick, but it stuck to her beak":

I've gone hypo, must stop for meal break in throes of afternoon video.

It looks as though there has been another rainfall. Mistle is happily incubating.

What another good day they have had, fish and incubating. Shame about the very wet weather, poor Mistle. Great upates all, thanks. Another egg tomorrow, fingers crossed.
