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

You're welcome Starling! I couldn't agree more, I'm sure the boys (and Laddie) will sleep well tonight too! I've edited my post to show PT5's claim - he caught it just in time as it looked like the fish was going over the side!
21:35 PT5 flew from the nest with the remainder of his fish
PT4 (he'd eaten all of his fish) left at 21:37
Maybe PT5 was in a hurry to get to a favoured roosting spot before his brother! lol

Good morning Starling and all Another small fish that nearly 'fell overboard'! PT5 had only just arrived at the nest prior to the delivery, PT4 has been waiting for quite a while for his own fish. The tables are turned today as it was PT5 that had to wait a long while yesterday.
