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

PT4 is still on the nest. No fish deliveries from Laddie. PT5 flew from the nest around 11:30am yesterday and I've not seen any other appearances from him
PT4 flew off as I typed
16:50 Apart from a crow paying a fleeting visit, it's been ENS since PT4 flew from the nest this morning. The cam zoomed in to show the dead tree, no ospreys there either

So sad that I didn't have anything really to report Starling. No activity at all this afternoon/evening
These are the last two captures I took of PT4 this morning (sorry, I wasn't able to post them at the time)
