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.

LS went offline this morning. From scroll back, no fish had been delivered up until that point.

11:52 The cam was zoomed and moved around. A couple of alternative nest views
12:50 zoom of the nest
Then over to the birch
ENS 13:01 - Possibly, NC0 on her diving branch of the birch
I can't find any fish deliveries since the cam came back online.

The cam went offline again this afternoon.
15:46 ENS since the cam came back on 40 minutes ago
thanks sandra,but when I looked ,I thought someone, with wishful thoughts, had left them a sun hat ( Soreeee Chol;)
17:09 Both on the birch?
If indeed it was NC0 on her branch of the split birch, she left there at 17:39, took a flight over the Loch (behind the nest) and landed with a chirp above the cam
Didn't stay there long and headed back to the birch
18:09 Hello NC0!
Good to see you too, Laddie! He flew in to mate
Laddie left immediately, NC0 followed suit! Back to ENS
NC0 to the nest with a stick at 19:18
Placement at the back edge of the nest
19:24
She left at 19:25, headed over to the birch and attempted to land where Laddie(?) was sitting - they both flew off
Oh, for a zoomed in cam shot of that! lol
