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.

Fish still at the back of the nest, so breakfast is already taken care of.

I have just had a chance to look in on the nest, From scroll back Lassie went on a break and Laddie arrived with a fish @13.40 approx
Chicks were trying to get him to feed them, but he just kept looking for Lassie. One chick started to peck at the fish at which point Laddie released the fish and flew off. Chick drags the fish over to the nest cup.
Chick having a go
Lassie arrives back and sees the fish and she claims it and begins the feed.
