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).

Both juvies on the nest.
Long range view again, one can be seen.
Birdies LG DU update.
I think they are hungry judging by the noise!
From scroll back, around 13:25 both were eating
First, PT5
Then PT4 cleverly stole the remainder

Looked in just now and one juvie with a fish.
Scroll back and Laddie delivered about 16.17.
Present time. Bit of a fight going on over the fish
.
I'll have to leave it at this point, I'm off out
Thanks Starling. It appeared that PT5 had the fish first, PT4 tried to steal (as shown in your pics) but was unsuccessful. He did, however, pick up a few morsels that PT5 had dropped (PT5 did finish the fish)
16:50 PT4 alone on the nest calling
17:00 Lassie joined PT4 on the nest, he thought she had a fish but was empty taloned
PT5 flew onto the nest
Lassie left the nest
