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.

Lassie returns
Poor Laddie, not much interest in the fish, he has flown and I think the fish is still there.
Mumbrella. It's raining Lassie struggling to cover the chicks now they are so big.
Lassie off on another break. Fish is still at the back of the nest. Clearly everyone is well fed here.
Lassie back, she's having a good preen.
Lassie is still preening at the side of the nest. She is looking good. Fish still not touched.
Something overhead catches Lassie's attention.
Feeding from the fish has begun
.
Only 1 of the chicks seems interested.
Now they are all preening
