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).

Good morning
7:40 PT5 (front) and PT4 are still awaiting breakfish. Not fish deliveries so far

11:45 I've scrolled through and there have been no fish brought to the nest. A short time ago, both boys were on the nest, there was chipping nearby so perhaps, with an intrusion, Laddie/Lassie are dealing with that (Edit: there was another unseen intrusion around 10:30)
11:34
There appears to be a lot of activity in the area
12:02 PT4 came to the nest shouting/defending, then joined by PT5 doing the same
12:12 Fish from Laddie, PT4 claimed it (at the back)
After a few bites, he flew from the nest with it. PT5 alone but dealing with crow(s)

Can't see who has the fish Oter juvie protesting loudly

From scroll back, following on from my other report - more fish deliveries (all timings are approximate)
12:20 PT5 claimed it
12:30 PT4, who had come back to the nest without the fish he flew off with, claimed the next one
14:00 Lassie came to the nest with a fish, PT4 had this one
14:58 Another from Laddie, Lassie claimed it but allowed PT5 to take from her. This leads up to Patily's report
16:25 Both PT4 and PT5 are still on the nest. PT5 still has the fish with which he had flown off with and returned (as far as I could tell anyway)
16:52 PT5 still with the fish, what's remaining of it (left)
16:56 PT4 was able to take the fish portion, PT5 flew from the nest
16:57 Lassie joins PT4
21:25 Both boys were on the nest when Laddie brought a fish
PT5 grabbed Laddie's foot while PT4 took the fish
21:46 PT4 finished eating and flew off. PT5 found a small piece of dropped fin and ate it
He had a wander around to see if there was anything else to eat (there were none)
21:50 PT5 left the nest
