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).

17:56 PT4 finished the fish
17:59 Distant warning call? Both laid down on the nest (L-R PT5, PT4)
18:26 PT4 flew from the nest, PT5 followed a couple of minutes later
18:55 PT5 back on the nest, stayed for around 10 minutes
PT5 came back at 19:58 - he must have seen Laddie with a fish as it was delivered at 20:00
20:39 He's demolished the whole fish (uninterrupted). Down goes the fish tail
20:45 A very full PT5 flew off the nest
21:27 Lassie to the nest, in came Laddie with a fish, I think it is PT4? (pic a bit grainy) who has joined her and getting fed
21:45 Lassie left the nest
21:47 Juvenile (as I'm not 100% sure who it was) flew off
22:13 ENS but I can hear an osprey calling in the distance
Video footage from yesterday, 9.6.19 (15:40) that I reported on, posted on LotL VC and Wildlife reserve fb today
Morning ALL - thanks for all the updates and captures.
One of the juvies has a fish just now

Good morning,
From scroll back. Prior to Karen's early report, Lassie was on the nest and just look where PT5 landed before the fish arrived!
PT4 flew in from the left
PT5 flew from the right and circled before landing safely on the nest. Both chicks got fed
6:25 A second fish from Laddie this morning! No juvies came and Lassie, after waiting on the nest (as per Patily's report), flew off to the left
6:45 She came back and PT4 had some more breakfish
PT4 flew off after having his fill leaving Lassie to enjoy eating alone. I think she took a small morsel with her when she left around 7:05
8:05 ENS since
