NEST OBSERVATIONS ESTLAT Osprey Nest 1 Madis & Piret ~ 2012

[jopie]

15.02

Now I can hear Piret thinking: where did that fish go



Especially because the chick lied down on it at first.
Maybe it tickled its stomach, because it was alive still

[jopie]

15.20

Tail for Piret and the fish is finished.
All for Uno (because she grabbed it? )

[jopie]

15.40

In this awful downpour Piret also has trouble keeping her balance, I can see her moving back and forward.



Edit: 15.51 and it seems to be thundering also

VLC is a useful tool

Yessss, it works - fantastic. Maybe I even can outwit my PC at work with this player

16.09

Rain is still going on...

[mireloom]

darn! Rainy again and again

[jopie]

16.20

Still going on Piret shaking her head now and again to get rid of the wetness

[mireloom]

brrrr very cold now!

[jopie]

16.30

Rain is slowing down and there is Madis with a fish, good comfort for the chicks

Edit; and feeding by Madis!

[maertha]

16:31 Yes, and he feeds the chicks!
Edit: Well... some bites. Difficult to see, but I think he eats the fish now.

[jopie]

16.3

Madis does not have the feeling for it, it seems.
Elo and Nori stretch out opened beaks towards him but he doesn't touch the fish anymore.

Does he find it the time for them to eat by themselves????

[jopie]

16.35

And just now? Madis disappeared and Piret came back??????

Edit: confusion, confusion: Still the ring of Madis visable

[maertha]

And just now? Madis disappeared and Piret came back??????

Edit: confusion, confusion: Still the ring of Madis visable

It´s Madis all the time. Piret left the nest at 16:29, Madis brought the fish a minute later.

16.38

And all sóóó very wet.....

[jopie]

It´s Madis all the time. Piret left the nest at 16:29, Madis brought the fish a minute later.

Thanks for helping out Maertha, I lost it

[maertha]

16:52 Madis leaves, noises from upstairs, piret arrives and feeds the chicks

[jopie]

16.52

Madis flies away, Piret jumps from cam taking over the feeding..

Untill later

[maertha]

Here the notes again:

16:29 Piret leaves the nest
16:30 Madis brings prey (the video shows it was just 1/2 fish, see picture below)
16:31 He feeds some bites to the chicks, then he starts to eat the fish
16:49 Piret calls? Madis eats all the time, maybe one of the chicks gets a piece of food
16:52 Madis leaves, noises from upstairs, Piret arrives and begins to feed the chicks

16:30 Madis brings this fish




Feeding...

Its looks so miserable there today. I see all three chicks huddled together. No parent bird visible.

No parent bird visible.

But audible!
