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).

17:30 Another fish from Laddie. Lassie flew in to claim it but PT5 beat her to it
17:56 PT4 managed to grab the fish from PT5 to feed itself
Lassie flew off from the nest

22:10 Both flapping their wings vigorously (PT5 at the back of the nest)
23:00 Resting
23:04 Lassie came to the nest. Tawny Owls calling in the distance
Shortly after Lassie flew (very early, way before daycam) one chick got up and flapped - I expect you'll know which from this quite clear view:
The most I've seen the other chick manage is this wing-stretch ;)
I set the stream to download but yet again it didn't last, this time only for 7 minutes :(
