Link to previous thread: Loch of the Lowes - May 2019
The season so far: LM12 (Laddie) arrived back 15 March and LF15 (Lassie) on 23 March. Lassie laid 3 eggs on 4, 7 and 10 April hatching 11, 12 and 16 May. Sadly on 26 May tragedy struck and the third chick died. Laddie and Lassie continue to work hard to raise their young and Laddie is once more proving to be an excellent provider bringing in plenty of fish to feed his family.

Laddie brought in another fish about 90 mins ago.
Cam zooms in. Fish a decent size.
Scene just now. Looks like they are still eating the fish.
From 11:55ish, Lassie had just come back from a break (looks like she'd had a bath) and began shouting and chipping. Laddie joined her on the nest, ate some remnants of fish. Lassie flew off leaving Laddie in charge for a little while. Lassie returned
Around 14:50 Laddie delivered a huge (live) fish to the nest
18:00 Lassie has been trying to give the chicks extra fish since the earlier main feed of this delivery, their crops are full to bursting!
19:33 Laddie has brought in a headless fish, Lassie hasn't attempted to rise from the chicks but is instead shouting, something is disturbing her
After almost 5 minutes, Laddie flew from the nest
Lassie began a feed but only one chick was interested and had a couple of bites
19:44 Within a few minutes, Lassie was back brooding, the fish still on the edge of the nest
