LOCH OF THE LOWES - MAY 2021

  • 11:37 She's started shouting again.

    Scrolling through, NC0 took a break around 10:50, #1 decided that was the time to 'pick on' #2 and #3!

    Back left chick (#3) face planted in its defence and came up looking like this!

    She is calm at 11:45 and now there is torrential rain!

  • 12:05 NC0 took another short break. #3 still has its 'mucky' face

  • A whole fish delivery just before 13:20

  • Chicks 1 and 2 had a really good feed but by no means did NC0 leave #3 out - it ate 3 or 4 sizeable 'chunks'. Lovely to watch her touch each of the chicks' beaks to offer the fish morsels

    NC0 swallowed the fish tail

    Hopefully, #3 will get itself into a better position at the next feed

  • Catching up only now, great news about the 3rd bob. Family complete, well done mum and dad, it will be lovely to follow their progress. So very sad about the wee chick in Wales, poor little one.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • Laddie turned up to the nest probably to see how much fish was left for him. After looking around as there was none, he left

    Hi Catlady.

    It just goes to show how vulnerable these dear little ones are, doesn't it...

  • It really does Sandra, they are so wee, anything can happen until they grow up a bit! It is a job keeping up will all the nests and who is on what nest and where, who came back and who never, how many chicks there are, I pop in and out on them all, but can never keep up with all the posts and follow all their progress. Great fun following though, hope they all continue to grow and everyone keeps safe, and we can watch the entertainment.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • I couldn't agree more! :)
  • Another fish from Laddie, headless this time

    Chicks 1&2 resting, chick 3 up
