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).

Laddie with fish, and he has departed
Lassie has the fish and because the way the chicks are standing I can't quite see whether she is feeding just herself or also the chick on the R
Now the other chick is moving closer and is either given ot takes a piece of fish skin and moves back to eat it
From her head movements I think Lassie is feeding chick on the R

Great capture BNN. That did not look good!!
Scary indeed and a long, nearly three minutes, before he reappeared.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning all, thank you for all the pics & posts.
Laddie arrived with a fish a few minutes ago, but seemed upset by an unseen danger. Stayed a short time, then flew off with the fish.
