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.

Lynette D said:I was watching on my phone earlier this afternoon and saw Lassie feeding all three so the little one did get something then which hopefully you all saw.
The 15:35 feed was very successful for all three chicks
I've just been going through my snaps from the last feed. #3 appeared to still have food in its crop (a very similar shot to your first pic of the same feed, Starling)

Yes I noticed that at the time Sandra, but he/she's so little, the more they eat, the bigger the other two seem to get! I think Laddie needs to bring in some whoppers, as they all seem a bit hungry.

I'm so thrilled to have some footage successfully downloaded that I must post another snap of the unfortunate live fish:
At least it's different from the other one, when the snap I took of Lassie reacting to the unseen murder going on on Scottish Wildlife Trust land near an osprey nest !!! turned out to be exactly the same as SHEILA's but I'll post it to alert to the hard-slogged-over-video-with-sound-synched ;-D

#3 getting a bite, it was before the live fish arrival:
For a later, brief feed, it was trapped between the two elders:
Good morning. Just scrolled back over 3 and a half hours to see #3 in the best position it could be in for a feed - right at the front
Super feeding by Lassie!
Still scrolling through and almost two hours ago, Laddie came to the nest fishless, Lassie took a quick comfort break and returned to tuck the chicks in
Lassie has been brooding up to the present time
Cam zoomed in on chicks just now.
Fish delivery and feed underway
