LOCH OF THE LOWES – JUNE 2019

Laddie arrived a couple of minutes ago with a small stick then picks up a piece of left over fish from the side of the nest and starts feeding Lassie

and Lassie now passes the piece on to the chick

Edit:  5 minutes later and this is still going on ie Laddie tearing the fish and passing pieces to Lassie who is then sharing the fish with one chick as the other is still asleep tucked into her  :-)     

Ahhh! Another pair practising team work Lassie nags as Ladddie passes her morsels of fish that she passes to one of the chicks whichis nagging in its turn while its sibling sleeps

It really is lovely to watch Patily - first I have ever seen this :-)

Good morning all, thanks for the early morning captures & reports, and also Kate for the lovely memories.

Laddie popped in but did not bring a fish.

Lovely captures this morning, thank you

Thanks for the memories Kate, you do have a good memory!

Laddie popped onto the nest a short time ago, no fish

Edit - He's back and gone again!

Thanks for that Kate  ...    aww indeed.

Have you ever seen what happened this morning before ie the pass the fish :)   For Laddie was passing the fish to Lassie who was then passing it to the chick.   I've never seen that before on any nest :-)

I can recall watching Monty and dear Glesni passing fish in that way Karen, lovely to see

'A wing stretch eh?'

'I can do that too!'
