LOCH OF THE LOWES April 2019

Korky 31/03/2019 22:19

LM12 arrived on Friday 15 March, and his regular mate, LF15, on Saturday 23 March. Since then, we've seen them renewing their bond, with skydancing, mating, fish, mating, more fish, more mating, oh, and perfecting the nest. Going on their past performance from the 4 years they've been together, I reckon we can expect the first egg to be laid anytime from 4 April onwards. (Thanks to Chloe B and Tiger for this fabulous data-rich website)

However I personally cannot remember anything of that sort at this nest. Is there History I can look back on here ?

Sheena, you can type anything into the white search box at the top of the page. It should show things that match. Sometimes you may have to changesome wording or use less text! Good luck.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Within the blog, the Lowes write their concerns for the egg which, although not predated, was left uncovered for 2hrs, 20mins - quote

"we are concerned that the egg will not have survived such a long period uncovered on a cold, wet night."

Perhaps Lassie is aware something is wrong?

Thanks Catlady, I did search and nothing coming up. I did not think it would but I promised to check it out on behalf of cam viewer who seems to re- calls frogs!! I am now begining to wonder if she saw Loch Garten pic that Scylla posted with added Froggie ...

Mmmmm. Every year there's some sort of kerfuffle with eggs being unattended/not brooded/brooded then not brooded etc etc etc. And every year I can never remember what the critical factors are. The notion that some eggs survive not being brooded until another is/all are laid suggests they can survive for a while....but how long...and at what temperature.....? Anyone else got a better memory of the critical factors and/or happy stories of eggs abandoned for a while but eventually hatching??

Thank you Karen, I was going to post the nicely written blog but hey you have done it. I guess only time will tell on the outcome off the egg.

Mmmmmm, disappointing Laddie. He's been prone to this behaviour has he not. I thought he'd grown out of it. Of all the time to desert the egg , a cold wet night (even if the 'wet' was dew it would be heavy enough to be rain)..

Sorry Korky my memory cannot piece together nest and culprit and length of time etc but Laddie has been known to do this quite a bit - even when Lady was his mate.

Thank you Karen for the link to the latest Blog. Yes, Laddie may well like to incubate as so many males do (Odin Monty) but he has this thing about not quite seeing it through. Very odd about Lassie sleeping away !
