I think it's a grey gurnard (sea fish)

At last: result! I heard Piret giving the sound which she makes when Madis is arriving and pressed the button
...
Looks like a good sized trout.

(Macko is that possible? Madis came from behind the nest.)

Hello jopie,

it seems to me the left side :)

[Starling]

Lots of food.

WoW , Mummy you're so huge and so strong!

19:26 Fish delivery

Madis, the male eagle, brings a fish (see picture below) and leaves the nest a moment later. Feeding begins

Piret is really working hard tonite!
Look to the white feather near her wing!

After feeding it's time to change the furnishings of the nest.
At the end of the day, Piret isn't carefully with the chicks

Poor little eagle gets attacked and pent-up by its mom.

"What the heck. We´re trying to sleep but mom is piling branches on us."

Good evening, everybody!
I started to read this forum about Osprey nest from that time, when Nori was one day old. It is very interesting to oberve bird's life. I like this family.

Macko, do you really think that, when Madis comes from the left side, it brings a fish from the sea?
I think, that Gulf of Riga is too far from Võru - about 140km. May be Madis brings some fishs from Tamula or from Vagula lake.

[Manu]

Thanks for the pictures, I've lost the video from "decorating"
@Tatjana: Welcome here.

[NancyM]

Welcome, Tajana!

I left the computer for a moment, and came back to Piret feeding all three - was there a delivery?

Strange While it is flat on the ground...earlier I saw Elo even trying to peck at Piret (I don't know the exact time )

[maertha]

Maertha, and I really adore the little kind of clumsy, plump feet of the chicks.

Me too, jopie. Just this evening I thought the same. I love to see them growing up

Good evening Tatjana, welcome!

Urmas wrote in May: "Fish farm is not far, did not measure, but about two-three kilometers and the natural lake is even a bit closer. So different fish species are possible to see (...)."

Those feet are just adorable!
