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.

Ooh! Thanks so much for the close-ups, SANDRA. I shall be sure to save that session hoping to do portraits and/or vid... when I get a bright mental patch
IMAGICAT
You're welcome, Scylla! Hope you're feeling much brighter soon An added bonus - more zooms, from 18:37ish and still on screen now, of NC0 on her nest perch!
As soon as she landed on the perch, prior to the cam zooming in, Laddie flew in to mate
NC0 watched Laddie talon-dipping as the cam moved in (top right of centre)

Some random pics of our gorgeous girl as the light faded!
She headed off to roost at 19:42
Someone has landd on the nest.
Now a second Osp... I think that was Laddie landed first, now he's in for a mating but it looks a bit ham-fisted (cos I can't think of words).
22 March ~ mid-afternoon - Laddie brings NC0 headless fish, we get closeups. (Not finished, due to external interruptions.)
23 March
I lost the internal network so can't get at the timeline version.
Another mating just took place, only saw it out of the corner of my eye and I've been out of the room so there may have been more.
Yep another busy morning
stick
Morning Scylla, Kate and All,
Thank you for the vids and pics!
7:18 NC0 flew to a lower birch branch
Edit: Laddie has a full crop?
