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

11:30 PT5 arrived on the nest, Laddie brought in another fish, accidently landing on PT5 in the process. PT5 'went for him' before grabbing the fish
11:42 He flew from the nest taking the fish with him

From scroll back
Approximately 13:20, both Laddie, with a headless fish, and PT5 landed on the nest simultaneously
PT5 left the nest with his fish at 13:30
It's amazing how Laddie is catching fish in the dire conditions!
Gosh! 14:27, another from Laddie, PT5 flew in to claim this one too
PT4 has been heard shouting in the distance
14:40 PT5 flew with his fish
15:05 LS has just gone down
15:12 Back on again. PT4 shouting on the nest
16:00 PT4 left the nest
16:05 I can hear one of the boys shouting very close to the nest, not on view - scrap that, I had the Dyfi tab open at the same time! ;)
16:55 LS down again, I think it was PT4 who was on the nest at the time
17:02 Cam back on, PT4 still on the nest
18:05(ish) Laddie delivered a fish to PT4
19:08 PT5 waiting on the nest
Good morning all First fish came at 7:20, PT5 flew in to claim it
Laddie arrived on empty nest approx 07.20 with a fish, immediately followed in by PT'5.
Had a look at scroll back and didn't see any other fish delivery earlier, unless I missed any.
