Great post mate - they're getting started with all this early eh?
Female Leo generally choose nests from late Feb & March, but one of local owlers reports a bird perched on a nest this weekend. ( local clutches rarely laid before April ).
Individual Seos will hold & defend winter territory, then move off in late Spring, although Lowland breeding by Short-ears is far more widespread & regular than gets reported (for obvious reasons).
