You must have been so excited, JG, to see it as it was actually happening. Are we worried about Laddie yet, doesn't he usually arrive first?
Love hearing the woodpeckers pecking!!

0855 Lassie has flown off for a while :)

Good morning, Rosalind!
Laddie landed earlier than usual last year, so I would not worry about him just yet.
Lassie is slightly earlier this year.
Last year she arrived at the loch on the 23rd of March, about a week after Laddie arrived.

Good morning, Rusty!
A dry , frost-free morning. Still cold.
How exciting to see Lassie on the nest!
Yes, it is indeed Lassie.
Her Y-shaped facial marking is very clear to see.
The rangers et al were cutting it very fine, with their fixing of the webcam.
Let us hope that all repairs are lasting now the osprey are actually arriving........
Fingers crossed for the safe and speedy arrival of Laddie, now.
Miss ATW will be in Singapore and with her friend by now, won't she?
Have you heard any more from her?

Good morning, Elle!
Lovely morning here!
Has your snow gone?
Great to see Lassie again!
She has been moving sticks about in the nest.
Yes, hope Laddie is not far behind her!
The webcam appears to be operating properly now.
So, well done the rangers and team!
Miss ATW's aeroplane has landed at Singapore.
I texted a WhatsApp message to her, but no reply, so far.
She will need wi-fi access.
And she can not be texting everybody!
I may hear from my grandson how his big sister is doing.

Testing .....

Hi Rusty

Thanks. I watched a kite at close quarters (I could see individual wing feathers) hunting over a field and landing this morning. Fantastic colours. Very cold, though

Hi, Rusty!
Oh dear, I am having some technical problems with my computer this morning.........
Yes, the snow has all gone from our garden.....although there are still some remnants to be seen on the higher ground in the park.
The lakes are no longer frozen though.
Lassie seems to be rearranging her nest to her satisfaction......
She will be looking out for Laddie presumably.
Let us hope he joins her soon.
I am awaiting a pet food delivery....my hourly time slot is 13.52 and 14.52
I love the exactitude!
This is normally very useful, as then one can plan one's day....
But it didn't, of course, work for me this morning as my computer has been down, and I have only just found out the delivery time!
Ah well, not long to wait now, as it happens!

Hello, Elle!
Goodness, technical problems?
Is it behaving now?
I have always thought computers very user unfriendly things.
Yes, I watched Lassie titivating up the nest.
We shall have to be patient awaiting Laddie.
I was out for a walk.
A very pleasant day outside.
This must be Spring at last!

Hello Elle and Rusty,

Hope all is fine with you both!

I've been thinking !!! (I know, it's hard to believe!)

7.28am sounds somewhat early for Lassie to arrive, in comparison with other years - so, I am wondering if she has not been in the vicinity for a day or so, watching the goings on, and on seeing nobody in view for a while, then decided to reclaim her nest -
What do you all think?


Blue sky and sun here, but also North wind so quite cold yet!
