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.

10:20 Laddie caught his first glimpse of the egg
He hurried down to be close
NC0 aerating the nest cup
He flew off shortly afterwards.
Your turn to incubate will come, Laddie!

Yes, I think so, Wendy! lol Hopefully, he's off to get NC0 a fish - he'll get his chance to incubate when he brings her some lunch!
13:11 Fish delivery!
NC0 backed up from the nest cup with the fish in her beak
Transferred it into her talons
Off she went
