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 all, thanks for all the updates.
Sandra - I'm delighted you were watching when PT4 fledged.
There was a fish delivery by Laddie 5 mins ago.

Our new normal :(
Yes Starling, something we're going to have to get used to. The season is going far too quickly
16:07 Lassie flew onto the nest, Laddie was on his way with a fish
Neither PT4 or PT5 made an appearance so Lassie flew away with the fish (top right)
16:47 PT5 arrived quickly followed by PT4
No delivery of the fish so both left the nest (PT5 first). Back to ENS
18:10 Laddie delivered a fish to an empty nest. Waited for a while then PT5 arrived
PT5 got a bit annoyed when Laddie got too close
Laddie left the nest
Fish delivered by Laddie 20.25

Lassie arrives.
Lassie claims the fish
This is from about 4 hours ago, I'm not sure which chick it is, but it made a real crash landing onto the nest.
I've just scrolled back to that, Starling, to see who it was - PT5, he really needs to learn to slow down on his descent!
