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.

21:05 Laddie came to the nest with a headless fish (same one as last time?) Lassie was feeding one chick from the rest of the other fish. Laddie flew off leaving his fish behind

There is a fish at the back of the nest. Lassie making no attempt to feed the chicks opting to cover instead.
Good morning Karen
It appears that Laddie brought the fish in around 6:50, only a brief feed for the chicks at the time
Poop shot!

Lassie off for a flyabout, one of the chicks watches. Not long ago they polished off the remains of the fish from earlier.
Lassie has just arrived back as I type.

Quick look in and Lassie and chicks were eating a fish, scrolled back but it was the end of a fish she dragged from under a twig.
