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 arrived a few mins ago with a fish, but he left and looks like he took the fish with him.
Morning All - looks lovely here and Lassie still dozing with the chicks

Good morning
From around 4:50 - Laddie came to the nest, he found a scrap of leftover fish
Fed some to Lassie
Chicks had synchronised wing stretches
Only one chick interested in the old scrap of fish
7:33 Laddie came to the nest fishless, Lassie let him know about it too!
The scene after was as Korky's lovely capture

Scene just now.
Everyone relaxing.
Laddie on the nest with a fish.
Lassie made no attempt to take it, she seems to be determined to keep the chicks covered although one of them was trying to escape. It's possibly raining.
Fed up Laddie decides to take the fish and leave. He will probably bring it back again soon.
As I thought Laddie has brought the fish back, and Lassie is right up this time. Chicks however don't seem that bothered.
