2022 return dates: LM12 (Laddie) - 13th March; NC0(16) - 23rd March
Looking forward to welcoming back Laddie and NC0 to this wonderful location at Loch of the Lowes. Will Laddie, in his 12th season, beat his earliest arrival date that he achieved last year? Will NC0, her 4th season, be heard before she is seen on cam? Could we see the return of their 2021 offspring, LR1 and LR2? Here's hoping they have safe, spring migrations so as to grace our screens once again.

10:50ish Laddie resting after nest scraping
Mating at 12:20ish. It looked successful

14.34 What a beautiful scene just now. Birds quietly calling in the background and these 2 beauties on the nest. So peaceful.
What a wonderful capture, Glider!
Laddie brought a 'pole vaulting' stick to the nest at 16:20. He'd carried it from beyond the birch corner
17:13 ENS. Off-cam mating 'chirps' heard. NC0 must be sitting above the cam
17:19 Good grief Laddie, where are you finding these large sticks?
NC0 flapped down to the nest before Laddie had a chance to position the stick
