Link to previous thread: Loch of the Lowes - June 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. The remaining two chicks were ringed on 26 June as follows: #1 Blue PT4 (M) and #2 Blue PT5 (M).

Considering the size of that nest, these two are filling it up nicely.

Then begins the feed
Laddie has been to the nest on 2 other occasions, but he had no fish.
That is all the action I have found from scroll back.
I would have put a capture from real time, but the cam is playing up just now, and I have to go.
It would have been PT4 & PT5 relaxing on the nest
Many thanks Karen for the new thread and for everyone's captures and posts this morning
