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).

When PT4 had finished his, Lassie fed him some of the fish she was eating
21:36 When there was no more to eat, Lassie cleaned up around the feeding areas. PT4 flew from the nest, Lassie followed almost immediately

Good morning Starling, Patiliy and all
That was the 2nd fish of the morning, Laddie is doing well
4:35 Lassie and the boys were waiting on the nest (PT4 left, PT5 at the back)
PT4 claimed it. PT5 left the nest shortly after
6:00 A piece of fish had been left on the nest after PT4 had a solo feed. Lassie began to eat from it and then PT5, who arrived, took over (as per Patily's report)
Good morning Sandra and all. Thank you for your captures from earlier. I am having problems with the cam just now, I hope it's just me.
Edit 08.15, cam still buffering, I'll come back later.
8:25 Cam back on. Lassie is alone on the nest, still with fish
BFN
09.20 Lassie still standing alone on the nest clutching the remaining piece of fish.
Lassie eventually flew off at 09.40 approx, taking the fish with her.
10.17 One of the PT's arrives. Lol.
Lassie arrives 10.23 with probably the remains of the earlier fish.
It's PT5
I'm trying to juggle too many balls just now, and not doing it very well, so I'm off for a while
