LOCH OF THE LOWES - MARCH/APRIL 2023

  • In reply to Sandra :

    21:17ish NC0 stood up, fish calling, as Laddie (I assume) left the birch area and flew towards the nest with what appeared to be a fish in his talons. He didn't land but continued his flight low, behind the nest. He could then be seen flying over the Loch in the opposite direction. 

    I lost sight of him after this pic

    She had a good flap of her wings before settling back on the eggs

    NC0 just before night cam came on at 21:20

    Perhaps it was Laddie's way of letting her know she will be getting an early breakfish!

    Good morning All,

    Laddie delivered NC0's headless breakfish at 5:48

    Cam zoomed in

    Laddie left the fish on the nest, NC0 had to walk carefully around the edge of the nest cup to retrieve it

    Laddie down to settle

    7:13

    Apologies for the delay in posting the pics.

    ----------------------

    Sandra you cover this nest so well each season, so no need for any apologies that's for sure.   I am sorry that I am only popping in now and again, but when I do I appreciate all the effort you go to to keep the nest updated.  Same goes for Scylla and Karen. and anyone else who posts a lot on here.

    Thank you so much, Mary, and please pop in as and when you can - good to see you! 

    NC0 returned from her breakfish break at 9:12. 

    Laddie took over from her at 11:48 after bringing a stick to the nest

    12:55 Laddie still on the eggs, NC0 on the birch. The wind has really picked up!
