NEST OBSERVATIONS ESTLAT Osprey Nest 2~ Ilmar & Irma ~ 2013

[Gavril]

07:43 Ilmar eats fish, on a dry tree crows.

[DeepDive]

7:43 Ilmar is eating fish on the nest. There is a crow on the dead tree. You can hear the voice of the crow too.
EDIT: There are two crows, but they don't bother Ilmar at all.

[MarshaMay]

I'm wondering about the egg. I think it's covered, but Ilmar is standing on where it's supposed to be... I think.

[Gavril]

07:53 Heard the voice of the Raven and the osprey. The ravens are interested in the first egg?

[tez]

a rare moment: Irma's breakfast in the nest, and not on the dry tree



and then:

[Gavril]

07:59 Irma and Ilmar in the nest! Look around. Maybe they are concerned about the ravens

[Gavril]

08:10 Irma incubation in a good bowl. Ilmar on a dry tree guards!

[javabird]

8:38 Irma left, but I don't know when. Ilmar come to incubate. I wonder Irma didn't get her breakfast fish. She must be hungry.


10:05 Don't know what's the matter with Irma. She seems not have the patience to incubate.
Everytime I just saw her incubate, she flys away soon, and leave egg on nest for a while, then Ilmar comes to take care of it.

10:38 correction: I checked pontu pics, from 10:05, it's only Ilmar in nest to take care of the egg. Don't know where Irma is.

[Gavril]

12:12 Irma in incubation. Above it, someone flies. Irma a little sleep.

14:02 Iram is incubating and snoozing.

[Gavril]

14:06. Irma was gone, Ilmar corrects the Cup to the hatching. 14:10 Ilmar Harbor egg tree bark. He doesn't like it. Ilmar removes the bark of the tree with the eggs. Work on the house and incubation.

[piyopiyoya]

17:30 The egg on the nest alone.
17:31 Ilmar came back to incubate.

[Gavril]

17:30 Ilmar changed Irma in incubation. Irma went stretch her wings. 17:33 Ilmar left and immediately returned. Corrects the Cup and of the incubation.

Review the pontu pics, it seems that Ilmar & Irma take turn to incubate the egg today.
Ilmar did not bring fish to Irma. Well, he did bring one at 16:31:

But Irma didn't take it. She kept on waiting in nest. Ilmar brought back again at 16:59:

But Irma still didn't take it, so Ilmar took the fish to dead tree to eat. And Irma left nest around 17:23. She probably went fishing by herself. That's why it took a long time when she left. And we often saw Ilmar incubate egg in nest.

[piyopiyoya]

Is it possible Irma doesn't like some kind of fish that Ilmar bring in?
