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

Laddie has delivered 2 fish in the last 10 mins or so.
There was an earlier delivery as well.

Looks like there was an even earlier one around 06.15, so that would be 4 fish today?
Think it was PT5 got that one.
Laddie arrived with a fish at 09.05 approx to an empty nest.
Waited patiently for a while then flew with the fish, meanwhile the cleaner arrived.
One of the boys arrives and Laddie returns with the fish.
Nice size fish.
.
PT5 has just flown with the fish.
Awful weather has set in, Laddie had the right idea to deliver all the early fish.
Looks like both boys on the branches of the dead tree
