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.

19:39 Both to the nest. Laddie tried to take the remainder of NC0's fish, not once...
...not twice...
...but three times
This lady was not for sharing and flew off the nest with her fish

NC0 came back to the nest five minutes or so later, the remainder of her fish still tightly gripped in her left talons
Laddie showed up a short while later - he made no attempt to take the fish
He headed off back to the birch
NC0 stayed on the nest and tucked into her fish
She headed off to the birch with the tail end of the fish
Her reflection can be seen here
Soon after night cam came on, NC0 returned to nest perch - no remaining fish in her talons
She is still there at 21:09
Will she stay and roost here for the night, the first time this season?
23:54 NC0 is still on her nest perch

Love the final snap of NC0, SunnyKate.
I've only just twigged that her cracked Darvic has gone, that's terrible... for anyone who's not good at ID-ing

Good morning Kate and All,
Many thanks for the early pics, Kate.
Yes, there continues to be buffering and pixelation with the LS this morning though, strangely, it was stable on night cam

It's still there, Scylla.
