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.

Both getting fed
PT5 moved away from the feeding, he had a more pressing thing to do!!
He then moved to the right side of the nest while Lassie moved a stick
Laddie delivered a fish at around 22.23.
Both chicks up for some fish.
One has had enough.
Eventually both chicks had enough and Lassie continued eating on her own.

Good morning
A short time ago, PT5 was showing off one of his impressive wings and tail feathers
Handsome boys
Beautiful Lassie
8:25 PT4's wing
9:00 Laddie arrives (no fish)
I've been concerned that there hasn't been any fish delivery. Needn't have worried as the chicks were fed early this morning from the fish that Starling reported at 22:23 last night, Laddie also brought a tiddler (live) at around 5am (pics from that time)
