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 Patily and all. Good to see Lassie
There was a huge fish from Laddie just before 5am, both PT5 and PT4 have eaten from it
PT5 claimed it
PT4 took over
He walked away from it, PT5 took the end part
6:25(ish) Lassie arrived, PT5 still wanting more fish (as Patily reported)
7:45 Lassie and PT5 still on the nest

Around 10:30, Laddie delivered a fish to a waiting PT
Confirmed as PT5
PT4 came to the nest and waited for his chance to have some of the fish. Unfortunately for him, PT5 had finished it and flew off.
11:35 PT4 stayed to see if there were any morsels left
11:44 PT4 still on the nest and calling

ENS 18:30
Sorry, can't see ring numbers The one without the fish is intermittently protesting.....extremely loudly
Good morning Patily and all
Scrolling back, Laddie delivered the fish at approximately 5:55
PT4 flew in to claim it
PT5 came to the nest to wait his turn (Patily's pic)
PT4 walked away from eating, PT5 picked up the remainder of the fish and finished it
Once PT5 left the nest, PT4 did some cleaning up and found a small piece of dropped fish from between the sticks
PT4 did come back around 7:45 and found another scrap of fish in the same place. ENS since 7:50(ish)
