A year ago today when Lady returned. Are we going to be lucky.

No sign of any other females over the loch.

Loch of the Lowes male has been on and off the nest frequently for the last hour. Wonder if there is a female close by he is trying to interest in the nest.

Yep, definitely female about. She was on the nest mantling. Our male was also on the nest.

We have a pair. Female looks like she is staying on the nest. Male brought in some nest material. On the next visit they mated but don't know if it was successful. Blog hasn't been updated so do not know if it is Lady.

It isn't Lady but an unidentified female. There have been many successful matings. There will be a more in-depth blog tomorrow.

These two are a randy pair. There will be chicks this year.

Definition on Loch of the Lowes cam is absolutely brilliant. Zoomed in on the head of the female at the moment.
