[Kukelke]

14:07 - possible delivery; Perkons on the nest, feeding Snips, Lauma yelling at something in the distance:

[Hellem]

14:27 Since 14:07 Perkons is feeding Snips
14:29 Lauma, Perkons and Snips flew suddenly off
14:39 Lauma and Snurre on the nest, Snurre is eating herself

A delivery by Pērkons - Snurre holds the fish in her talons and other siblings stay aside and respect Snurre's lucky meal:

18:14
Lauma supplies one more fish - there is a big headless fish still on the west side which no-one is eating ...

No, there are two uneaten fresh fish and only one is being eaten by Snurre, another lies on the nest ...
- Snips got the fresh one and works with it ...

I believe Snaps is the one without a fish - she doesn't find the vacant fish tail of some reason but whines for her destiny in vain ...

18:22
Snaps finally detects the uneaten fresh fish and starts to eat it! So ALL THREE are having a fresh fish each to eat simultaneously - this uncredible family!

18:26
Snaps got bored with the "oldest" prey and tries to disturb Snips who is having the freshest fish - Lauma sits still on the nest and meditates - what more could she do? Lauma took off 18:27.

So a big fish tail (tench?) delivered this afternoon remains uneaten - the gourmand Snaps is so spoiled that she rather "starves" a while than eats it!

18:41
It looks like Snaps has become reasonable and got back to the tench tail - again all three have their prey to work with.

Snaps flew out as well, the nest is empty again

I do enjoy seeing them flying out into the free so easily!


19:25
Snips is back, eating of something left

20.35
This looks like the previous delivery by Lauma?

One of the osprets is eating the latest delivered fresh fish - I guess Snaps of her size - but could also be Snurre ...

21:24
The nest is again empty of all ospreys

There is still the half uneaten fish on the left - that I could eat - but no spoiled ospret finds it edible!

Snips stays on the nest.Snaps and Snurre flying.It is to much fish on the nest!
