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.

8:38 Laddie on the nest
©SWT/LotL
This was Laddie at 9:39 after bringing a piece of bark to the nest
9:47 He left the nest and has come back
The cam has been buffering but hopefully the streaming will hold.
9:50 NC0 flapped down to the nest. I'm unsure if this was a successful mating as the cam pixelated
NC0 at 9:53
I'm out and about today, a good omen that NC0 will lay an egg! lol BFN
Sandra P said:I have altered the title of this thread to include observations during April as well. I hope that's ok.
That’s a great idea Sandra, March wasn’t a full month so it’s better to have April included. I’m going to do that at Brenig too!!
NC0 flew onto the nest around 15.45. The cam zoomed in approximately at 16.00. She looks very relaxed.
Unknown said:Lovely close ups Glider. Thank you
You’re welcome Cirrus. It’s a wee treat for us when the cam zooms in! She’s such a beauty isn’t she.
Lovely close ups of NC0, Glider, thank you!
The cam has been offline a couple of times today. This posted on Fb
The latest URL with regards to the Fb message
Before the URL change, NC0 was standing quite comfy in the nest when Laddie flapped down and mated with her at 17:30
I was watching on my phone at 18:17 while travelling home (I was a passenger) when Laddie delivered a fish - his actual fly in didn't show and his landing was very pixelated. With the LS stop/starting, the time when scrolling back now doesn't tally.
19:31 ENS. I think we can guess who has which spot on the birch!
