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).

Sandra - you've been missed! No posts since you've been away. You just can't get the staff
HOWEVER, I have been out and about too. To Loch of the Lowes! Lovely afternoon. Plenty of osprey action - 3 in the air at one point whilst one chick was on the nest. Must have included an intruder, as there was chipping. No fish all day since the early morning one apparently. Dad landed with one just as I was leaving but immediately flew off with it, much to the consternation of the chicks. Lovely to be there again. Will post some snaps next
These aren't great as they're digiscoped. Various views of the chicks on the nest and nearby perches and lastly, the great crested grebe with two chicks, one on her back.

I've scrolled through today's streaming and have found a 'few' fish deliveries.
My computer isn't 'playing ball' with my saved captures so only timings for now in the hope that I can find where my pictures have disappeared to! Edited to show 'found' pics
The deliveries, all timings are approximate:
11:48
16:05 (the one Laddie took away, as reported by Korky - hope the time is about right!)
Redelivered 16:15
another 16:25 (both juvies were eating on the nest)
17:40 Delivery to PT5
and 19:55 (Lassie was on the nest too (right)
As far as I could see, both PT4 and PT5 have eaten well today
So sorry I couldn't help out today Sandra. I hope you manage to find your captures.
I had taken a screenshot when I first looked in today off scrollback of the first juvie to arrive this morning,(13/7) I think about 04.10
The only other one I took was this one for some reason 09.28 Lol.
I haven't been on other than that today
0736 Fish delivery by Lassie.
