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).

19:14 Laddie flew in with another fish, hotly pursued by PT4
19:20
19:23 WOW! Yet another fish! PT5 landed on the nest in time for the delivery from Laddie
19:30 Lassie joined her boys. PT4 had just finished his fish
19:37 PT4 flew from the nest leaving PT5 to enjoy his supper, Lassie waiting

19:57 Laddie delivered a fish to Lassie
20:01 PT5 left the nest and allowed Lassie to eat
20:05 She finished her one then found a small piece of fish that PT5 had left behind - she finished that too
20:14 PT4 landed just before Lassie took flight (left)
20:16 PT4 flew in the same direction
20:37 Laddie with yet another fish! Both Lassie and PT4 had been on the nest calling again prior to this
PT4 incoming (left)
Lassie allowed PT4 to take the fish
20:58 PT4 had eaten all he could, Lassie took over. PT4 flew from the nest
21:05 Lassie has finished eating but is still shouting!
21:13 Lassie finally flew off the nest, still shouting!
21:16 She can still be heard in the distance. 20:19 All quiet (apart from the rain) ENS
I do hope Laddie is taking a well deserved break now, as well as eating for himself. No fish deliveries for most of the day then from late afternoon and most of the evening, he has worked like a Trojan to feed all of his family. He is just marvellous!
Good morning all
I can't find the delivery (perhaps the LS went down?) but at 5:25 PT4 and PT5 were on the nest, the latter with a live fish
6:15(ish) PT4 stole the fish from his brother
6:30 Laddie delivered another, PT4 was still on the nest to receive it
He continued to eat from it (as per Patily's report) then flew from the nest at 7:22 - Lassie immediately came to the nest to finish the fish
ENS since Lassie left. It's pouring with rain but good to know the family have eaten already this morning
13:45 Fish from Laddie, PT4 grabbed it
14:13 PT5 still waiting his turn
Was just about to post the same Sandra
PT4 arrived on the nest at 13.28
Followed by PT5 at 13.40
Then Laddie arrived with the fish as Sandra's report above.

Hi Starling
Did you see that nifty bit of stealing by PT5?
