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

Hello Starling :)
It is a very sad sight and I really miss seeing the comings and goings :(

The Osprey Weekly - a digest of all the osprey news from the week just gone
Thanks Sandra for posting the link to the latest update from Lowes. It has been very strange looking in and seeing no one after all these months watching and now I just feel sad reading the blog for it makes it all so final that they have just got up and gone. But go they must and all that is left to be said is "safe journey - - au revoir"
The blog doesn't say whether or not Laddie was on the nest at 9:50 yesterday, just last seen. I didn't see any activity at all (apart from the odd crow). Devastated to have missed him if that was the case... Yes, safe travels to all our lovely family
