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 a half eaten fish which I think must be the earlier one as I have no idea where it went.
One not that interested

Just got back in and there is a new fish. Nearest chick not interested preferring to tidy nest material on the nest.
I'll have a scroll back to see the delivery.
Fish delivered about 15.35
On scroll back both chicks were eating when the fish arrived. So they must just be so well fed they only need a small top up.
Chicks home alone with a fish again
Lassie just returned as I was dealing with capture.
16:40 Laddie made a brief appearance to the nest while Lassie was feeding one of the chicks

Goodness chick getting fed lying down, lazy lump!
Raining here as well, Lassie doing her best to cover the chicks.
