NEST OBSERVATIONS ESTLAT Osprey Nest 1 Madis & Piret ~ 2012

[Carma]

16:28 YES! Uno brought a fish!

edit: my mistake, sorry, he just landed on a fish. gotta stop working and start concentrating on important things...

[asteria]

And is now eating! While the fish brought by Madis is still there and Elo doesn't touch it.

[b.h-p]

16.35 Uno in nest, eating from a fish that already was present there from an earlier delivery, when alarm calls from far was heard, and at once Nori went flat flollowed by Elo, but Uno continues eating

[Estigia]

17:03 - UNO flies off. Moments later, we can hear him chirping somewhere, so he is probably on a near tree.

:peek:

PIRET landed in the nest
and NORI attacked her

big discussion and than PIRET left

[Millie]

Piret landed on nest at17.20. Attacked by Nori who did a lot of screeching. Elo ignored her and continued to eat his fish. Could not see transmitter so maybe not Piret.

[lispet]

Was it Piret? I think I saw Madis claiming for the pike and Nori pecked on him. Nori seems to be afraid of nothing.

17.20 & 17.21 pictures of pontu. I see a ring, but I don´t see a transmitter.

Yes it was Piret, I saw her black ringnumber S0
I have a troubled picture but you can not see the ringnumber.

[Starling]

I think Piret has rings on both legs, silver colour (as seen on those pictures) and a bigger one (white maybe). EDIT: BLACK WITH WHITE NUMBERS

It's already 9 days past the Israeli female ospreys' 40 days stay after hatching.
what do you mean ? sorry my english is not anough good
is there an osprey nest in israel that you watch ?

This is what I have read in the Israeli Wikipedia, poorly translated by me:
"After hatching, the female stays close to the chicks for another 40 days, the male brings food and caring for perimeter protection.".
40 days from Nori's hatching ended 9 days ago.

Thanks Meierlein. I edited my post.

@Kukelke: you have very nice postings. Thank you!

Definitly Piret on nest. Saw So. Both chicks saw her off. So glad she is still here and hope chicks accept her. Maybe if she brings a fish??

but little NORI dont like to do and is discussing with her ^^

[meierlein]

"look Mum - my left wing is not large enough"

[pinkish]

So do you think Nori is going to fly very soon? Maybe tomorrow???

She is three days younger than Elo so she will fly three days after him.
