Continued from April 2019
The season so far:
LM12 (Laddie) arrived back 15 March and LF15 (Lassie) on 23 March. They are currently incubating 3 eggs laid 4, 7 and 10 April with the first expected to hatch around 11 May.

Thanks Karen, I just saw her incubating, getting up and there was this fish!
Here she is getting up.

Well that was a confusing episode.
This capture is her flying back with the fish, prior to the above captures, and then places it with the eggs and settling down.
2 hours ago Laddie was incubating and left the eggs. Lassie flew back with her fish, and placed it with the eggs and settled down, so she seems to be storing it. I assume this is the same fish just seen above?
I'm very confused, but what does it matter, she has a fish and the eggs are covered, so all is well. LOL
Lassie was on the nest eating her hidden fish, when Laddie arrived with a new fish. Lassie has taken off with her one and Laddie is currently tucking into his.
Thanks for all the pics and posts Scylla, Karen and Starling, it seems like its been a mad afternoon here.
At least Lassie has got her fish and hopefully will get to eat all of it.

Great coverage today, must single out STARLING for a medal ;)
I may be duplicating but this is where I've started recap.

A peaceful evening for Lassie so far:

Back to sleep.

Laddie called in early:
Gazed idly while Lassie called for breakfish:
Had a preen:
Let's hope he's gone fishing:
Isn't it nice to see them back in their routine? :)
