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.

16:59 Laddie to the nest with a headless fish (flying from beyond the birch) - where is NC0?

He waited for a couple of minutes, hopped onto the nest perch, then flew off to the birch, fish in talons
Edit: Back to the nest at 17:14
17:47 He came back at 17:35, went away, and has returned again, still with the fish. Here he is at present
Tucking in at 17:52
From scroll back. The last time I can find NC0 on the nest was at 14:15 - she made a couple of calls and flew off...

I've got the RF open, Sandra, with a short vid in it of NC0 pecking off Laddie's mating attempt this morning, and it's waiting for me to do NC's possibly human alarm calls - but Maya's return has taken me ages and am expecting Barn Owl hatch at Starr Ranch and that cam is coming down in my-newt files, so...

He returned at 18:45ish
Could that be NC0 on the birch?
