Gerrorff it I saw it first!

NC0 re-arranging the nest and shaping the nest cup, LM12 was in about an hour ago with a rather large fish. Obviously he didn't was to share with NC0 and flew off with it.

NC0 has been trying to re-arrange the nest all morning. She has been trying to move one stick unsuccessfully for most of the time.

Lots of activity on the nest this morning. Both LM12 and NC0 spent some time there. LM12 was feeding in a large fish and then flew off with it. Then NC0 left and there was no activity for some time. LM12 has just landed back on the nest but no sign of NC0 as yet. No sure how compatible these two are yet. There has been some mating attempts but not as many as expected. LM12 still mantles a bit when NC0 lands on the nest. Time will tell.

They have zoomed in with the cam slightly. NC0 sitting on the nest.

Soon as I said it, they zoomed back out.

NC0 on the nest. LM12 just came in with a stick and positioned it on the edge of the nest. Having done so he began to 'mantle'. He shouldn't be doing this by now. Something not quite right here.Staff aren't concerned as they haven't posted anything about his behaviour so maybe it is just me.

Mayhem on the nest. About two minutes ago two birds (?LM12/NC0) on the nest were joined by a third. Bit of a scrap before all leaving with one Osprey being chased by another. Happened so quickly it was difficult to see exactly what was going on.

I saw that peregrine, the 2 of them were sitting next to each other peacefully when NC0 started getting agitated, and the 3rd landing on the nest
Wow! What a scene

I usually hear it on the blog when something like this happens. This is the first time I have actually seen it when it as it unfolded. NC0 now back on the nest.

LM12 has now returned. No sign of the third bird. Wonder if it was LF15.
