Laird has been back a couple of times to say good morning to Lady. Now both on nest; breezy there. I'm off to bed; take care al.
Lady calling for a fish - trust she got one yesterday !!. Goodnight Annette , sleep well, hope you got your printer to work.
Good morning Sandra like you I am delighted the Laird has returned, was starting to wonder if he would but it was an absolute delight to read that it was indeed him. Who can forget him last year when he realised something was wrong with Lady and within a very short time he had started to feed the two chicks.

Thanks for the early morning posts but again what a shame that we no longer have the pics to view. Looks incredibly windy again this morning and as I type Lady is on the nest which is swaying around in the wind.
Hi everyone, haven't posted before but have read updates.
1:30 Thought lady had returned to nest but camera zoomed in to the legs which shows it's wearing a metallic ring. Maybe starts 97 but difficult to see really. Still sitting on nest at 13:51

Welcome Tricia W - exciting isn't it ? The Laird's leg ring is Green. 7Y
has anyone seen a fish delivered to the nest today please?
Yes Laird came in with a fish around 12:54.
This new bird's ring is just metallic, been on the nest for half an hour now.
14:14 squatter just left.
Was it The Laird anyone? Could wish Sandy was aroung again.
If not , has anyone SEEN The Laird today (forget the fish!!)
OH OH OH - bless you Tricia W - that's just what I want to hear. Thank you
I keep editing ............ so, squatter has left , good but I've been out for a wee while - did Lady (or Laird see the squatter off) Did Lady eat the fish in the nest??
Tricia W nice to see you can you tell me if Lady got that fish that the Laird came in with.
Yes Margobird she flew off camera with it and hasn't come back since.
Cirrus Squatter just flew off, didn't see either Lady or Laird make any attempt to shoo it from the nest.
Laird has just returned to the nest and up to perch 15:12. Lady back on nest with fish 15:16
