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).

22:06 Lassie came to the nest with what looked like a very small portion of fish. She continued to eat from it (not long) before PT5 grabbed the fish tail and swallowed it
Lassie left the nest.
After going back to PT4, and realising there was nothing on offer, PT5 flew off
PT4 finished eating, stayed a while and left at 22:15
Can't see who but one on the nest shouting......very loudly.......for breakfast and continues to shout as they fly off and from nearby and now in the distance

Good morning Patily and all
At 4:50, PT5 came to the nest and found the part fish that PT4 had been feeding from last evening
It was PT4 waiting on the nest as per Patily's report
A little after 7am, PT4 spent a short time on the nest. It's been ENS since
There have been no fish deliveries this morning. Both PT4 and PT5 have been on and off the nest. They spent time sitting next to each other just after 10am
Scene at 12:02 (PT5 at the back)
15:50 I have scrolled through this afternoon's activity, no fish has been delivered. Lassie and Laddie have not been to the nest either (I haven't seen them all day). Both PT4 and PT5 are on the nest calling at present
At last, a fish from Laddie 16:24 - PT5 claimed it!
16:28 PT5 flew from the nest, fish in talons
PT4 flew from the nest
16:34 PT5 back to the nest with the fish. PT4 flew in.
16:40 Laddie? (Edit: Possibly Lassie, 3rd pic - dark chest feathers?) then came with a tiddler of a fish that PT4 grabbed
16:45 Adult left the nest
17:25 PT5 still eating
PT4 managed to grab a small piece of the tail that was dangling from PT5's beak
17:30 PT5 had left the nest. PT4 waiting and shouting!
18:06 Laddie in with a decent sized (live) fish for PT4 - he must be so hungry!
18:08 PT5 came to the nest
18:35 PT4 left the nest after finishing the fish
18:42 After picking up a few morsels of dropped fish bits, PT5 flew off
18:43 Lassie appeared
18:45 PT5 joined her
Must have something he shouted, Lassie left almost immediately
PT5 flew off too but came back a short time after
19:00 PT5 remains on the nest
19:09 He flew off to the left. When following his flight, it appeared he headed towards the dead tree. There was at least one other osprey call
