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

I have scrolled through the last 10 hours and only saw 1 delivery approx 16.07.
The cam was zoomed in at the time on PT4 who had been off and on the nest a few times.
Laddie arrives with a small live fish.
The white blurry thing edge of nest in front of PT4 is the fish.
PT4 manages to catch and control it.

From scroll back another delivery about 18.45 approx. PT4 arrived on the nest just before Laddie.
They were both on the nest an hour or so before, so PT5 missed out again.
18.50 both on the nest. PT4 still has the fish.
Laddie delivers another fish which PT5 claims.
Hi Starling, many thanks for the scroll back reports, I was just going to do the same! lol.
I found another earlier fish from Laddie at 12:05(ish), that went to PT4. They can be so easy to miss, I didn't see PT5's 18:50 one at all!
19:33 Laddie has just delivered another, PT4, again, claimed this one

If only I had known I could have left it to you lol only joking.
Seriously though I did keep checking just to make sure you hadn't posted a catch up as it takes me ages.
Lol, you were only 5 minutes or so ahead of me in posting but it's very much appreciated!
I do find it takes longer to post all the snaps since the site upgrade but never mind, it gets done eventually
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning all. Both still waiting for breakfish. I did a quick look back with the scroll and I didn't see any sign of Laddie.
Still waiting
