White-tailed Eagles, Cairngorms
If the eagles adopt this nest and breed, "we" may wish to give them their own thread and will have to decide where to put it.
The cam is solar-powered, there's been no nightcam so far. The timeline is not up to WildlifeWindows' usual standard, it's often unreadable :((( The WTE appeared @ 16:37.
A sign of WTE life behind the nest (after the mystery pair flies by):

EDIT 21 January
The breeding season for white-tailed eagles in Scotland is from 01 February to 31 August.

Latest from Tweed Valley on FB today. Anxious times with the male not around.
Thanks for this info of the unusual three- handed nest ... I will be transferring details to the new thread we have on discord asap! Wonder where the male has gone, maybe bitten of more than he can provide for?
Maybe he knows he is now surplus to requirements as when one female fishes the other can guard the nest. Maybe they are programmed to be a two parent bird nest not necessarily a male and a female. It is fascinating
