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.

12:37ish Laddie brought a clump of moss to the nest
NC0 took the opportunity to take a 5 minute comfort break
She returned with a small clump of moss in her left talons
NC0 quietly gave Laddie the hint that she required something to eat
He rose from the nest cup
He stood on the edge of the nest for a few moments before heading off at 12:50
NC0 at 13:05

20:07 Awful weather for NC0 to have to endure. The wind is very blustery (it's picked up throughout the afternoon and now into evening)
I haven't seen any fish deliveries today, maybe Laddie was concentrating on keeping any intruders away or the conditions were not right. Hopefully, the weather will be calmer tomorrow and it will be an intruder-free day.

Hmm, typical, Wendy!
Morning Karen and All,
No fish as yet or even a visit to the nest from Laddie.as far as I can tell on scroll back
NC0 at present, she is calling on occasion
No sooner had I typed that when Laddie appeared with a fish! The LS had jumped so didn't see him land with it (or NC0's flyaway)
The headless fish was gratefully received!

Haha, well done Laddie!
