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

Good morning all. That was a lovely headless fish delivered by Laddie
Both PT4 (with fish) and PT5 shot off from the nest at the same time, around 7:03 They had been standing looking over to the right just beforehand
PT5 has been back to the nest a few times since. He's still there at present

9:41 Laddie with TWO small fish for PT5, one still flapping. Oh dear, the live one flapped over the side of the nest
Fish flapped down to the ground
13:58 Laddie brought a decent sized headless fish to the nest, PT5 flew in to claim it
There was a fish delivery from Laddie at 17:40. PT5 had been waiting on the nest, PT4 flew in a second or so before Laddie landed and was in a better position (centre) to grab the fish
Laddie was 'attacked' by PT5 just before he flew from the nest
