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.

20:45 Laddie came to the nest, flew off with the fish that Lassie had previously fed the chicks from
Unfortunately, I've been hearing distant gunshots
21:09 Laddie brought the fish back. Lassie took the fish from him, had a couple of bites and then flew from the nest

After her quick break from the nest, Lassie fed the chicks
Nothing for #3 this time but it has eaten well today (as much as I've been able to watch/scroll through). Lassie about to brood...
21:50 Goodnight Lassie, Laddie and bobs (and all), see you tomorrow
Scene just now - all quiet and it looks as if it is going to be a nice day here

Looking through scroll back Laddie hasn't been to the nest for almost 7 hours. From what I can tell, very early this morning (around 5am) there was an intruder alert to which Laddie took off presumably to deal with, then came back about 10 minutes later but left after Lassie went for a comfort break. Lassie appears to have been brooding since and no visits from Laddie (unless anyone else has seen him?)
He came back and moved a stick at the back of the nest
Nice fish delivered

And supplementing STARLING's report/snap:
Both times Lassie grabbed the fish enthusiastically.
