2023 return dates: NC0(16) - 17.3.23 (07:43) Laddie (LM12) - 17.3.23 (13:43)
Well, what an end the 2023 season turned out to be! Who can forget the battle for the nest between both juveniles, PF4(F) & PF5(M), and then to see the total domination and aggression by the eldest when 'owning' the nest, not only to her sibling but also to dear Laddie when he provided her with fish. The season synopsis can be read in the final LotL Osprey Diary here. Did NC0 leave early to undertake her southerly migration on the 15th July, or could there have been another reason for her not to be seen on the webcam or around the reserve?
We wait in anticipation for Laddie and NC0's safe return to Loch of the Lowes. Let us very much hope for a 'fraught-free' 2024 season...

Thank you for the imagicat link, Tiger.
Welcome home NCO
NC0 means business...she's brought in a log!
The centre of the nest is looking good already!

Absolutely, Ailie!
So good to see NC0 back and eager after her early departure last year leaving us perplexed as to what had happened to her! She makes her own rules! (returning on International Women’s Day)
Hi Glider,
Fabulous isn't it?! To be honest, I was really concerned about not seeing NC0 after the 15th July last year and was thinking all sorts of things. Keeping everything crossed for our dear Laddie to return safely now
Wonderful to have confirmation of NC0's safe return. Thank you.
Oooo how I hate this new set up. I finally got to the last post to catch-up, then back to the beginning to reply to the original thread... and back to the bottom to see if there are any further comments. And now I see there is no time set against any post; merely how many hours ago it was posted. Clicking on that very briefly a time is shown, but too quick to read. Sorry, rant over. It ought to be on another thread complete.
Welcome back NC0. Who is going to be second!

Woohoo! She is a sight for sore eyes! Is this the earliest she has returned? I’m also trying to find that wonderful page/resource that shows the dates they return. Forgive the grammar, it’s early in New Jersey and I need my first cup of coffee!
I know what you mean but if you click 'newest' which is just under the blue Reply then you get the latest posts
