Link to previous thread: Loch of the Lowes - July 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). Ringing Blog
6th July PT5 fledged
7th July PT4 fledged
Both juveniles have been seen attempting to fish in the Loch. PT4 was successful on 23rd July
Lassie (LF15) has not been recorded as being seen on the nest since early morning on the 25th July - though this requires confirmation from the Lowes team

18:57 Fish from Laddie, claimed by PT5
19:06 Another delivery, this time the fish was alive and much bigger than PT5's. PT4 managed to deal capture it. It looked as if PT5 had already finished his fish

19:47 PT4 finishing the fish tail
19:50 PT4 left the nest
PT5 before flying from the nest at 19:54

Flew off at 21:05, continuing to shout
A few random contributions, me having got better set up now but it's still very small on my screen so rather low quality.
PT4 with the reported lunch:
This chap/ess cleared up some crumbs:
The 1900 fish has been well covered.

PT4 had just divebombed an innocent corvid from the nest ;)
Carted off some nest material?

Good morning all
Both PT4 and PT5 were on the nest before 5am
6:25(ish) Both were there again after flying in at the rate of knots
7:05 PT4 shouting at Patily reported
9:05 Cam had zoomed in on PT4 who had come back
He left the nest just before 9:10
9:24 An absolute corker of a fish delivered by Laddie to a waiting PT4 - he'd not been on the nest very long
Laddie had a full crop
