LOCH GARTEN - MARCH / APRIL 2022

Thanks CC for report of her getting her own fish. That won't do at all. Axel needs to step up!

Thanks everyone for the updates over Easter. Axel certainly has done a great job with the nest but I'm a bit worried about his intermittent fish deliveries. Mistle getting her own fish today is a bit of a concern, hopefully she will return to the nest and doesn't look for a better provider. Come on Axel you can do it.

Pretty sure the 16:58 arrival was Mistle. Good to see shye hasn't left..... YET!

Dare I mention his name on here, but George was a very poor provider of fish, although he did catch some monsters. He didn't do very well with providing for EJ.
Luckily it hasn't progressed that far yet?

My mistake.............. just replayed and thebird with the fish had a silver ring on right leg........ so Axel!

I think it had a silver ring, I couldn't see any blue ring.  The chat forum is calling it Axel but I can't say it was or it wasn't.

From slo-mo. AX6 flyaway - blue ring on left leg

I remember a male in LG who battled against 5 others and who held the throne for a while....?2002?  Black 8Y........... he was useless and we were told by staff at the fish farm he used to try and take dead / injured rainbow trout out of the small buckets they kept for fish that were on their way out.
