LOCH OF THE LOWES – MAY 2019

Th cam zoomed in on Lassie about ten minutes ago, probably because she was like this for a few minutes

Then she surfaced

©Scottish Wildlife Trust uploaded a red squirrel intruding - I don't know when it was.

MC. I think Valerie flagged it up yesterday after you'd 'retired'.

(((Lassie))) looks rather thin in your second capture, MARY - probably just her posture?

MC two pages back. Incident around 0930 posts on the site a little later.

Thank you, MIKE, for the heads-up re VALERIE's report, after which I found MARY's video.  I must have had one of my fugues :-/

MARY, it's very sad that YouTube has removed a number of features helpful to us "amateur" videographers - a couple of years ago you would have been able to put a note on the video after publishing it, correcting the typo.

Anyway, thanks to Valerie and Mary - and SWT, of course ;)

Just had a scroll back, and Laddie arrived a couple of hours ago without a fish, but very keen to take his turn incubating.

Lassie didn't seem best pleased and kept nagging at him, then she flew off for about 20 mins or so, returned and nagged again.

Cam has zoomed in

Best I could get of the eggs.

Just because.
