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.

Scroll back shows Laddie arriving around 0430 with a large, headless fish. Don't know if this was the one you saw Starling but it looked to be a fresh one.

Laddie has just delivered a fish, good size one.
Should keep them happy for an hour or two
Chicks home alone with the fish. Lassie been gone about 12 mins.
Chick at the front watching something above.
She's back.
I hate when the chicks get too close to the edge, but Lassie seems to be pushing in front of it. Now the other one is doing it
,
I wish they would move back to the middle of the nest

One of the Bobs trying to feed itself…
