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

Birdies LG DU update.
It was such a surprise Mike, PT4 and PT5 had been mantling beforehand
13:25(ish) Laddie delivered a fish, PT4 grabbed it, PT5 grabbed Laddie's foot not once, but twice, then went to 'attack' him before he flew from the nest
14:10(ish) An awful fish handover for Laddie courtesy of PT5 who, in attempting to grab the fish, assaulted his dad. He did manage to claim it. Poor Laddie
Laddie almost off the left edge of the nest

Hopefully not too far away from its natal nest, Starling :)
20:10 I've not seen any other fish deliveries today
Better late than never ;) I saw your remark on Glaslyn.
Sound (almost) synced. I let it run a bit to hear that the birds were still protesting, it went on longer than that.

Just one there now Shouting intermittenly
