NEST OBSERVATIONS ESTLAT Osprey Nest 1 Madis & Piret ~ 2012

[Wil Muller]

14.45 Nori gets a fish from Madis, Nori fly away without fish. 14:46 Uno gets the fish but he doesn't eat. Have they full belly? The fish is still alive.

[Lunan]

14.52:
Uno still standing on the fish, haven't even tasted it yet. Looks a bit confused, almost like he's pondering weahter to stay or to follow the others.

@Wil: Thanks for the video!

[Chimega]

Looks to me like something is going on and the birds are nervous about whatever it is.

Being pretty quiet, too, which is unusual...

[Lunan]

14.58: Uno finally starts to eat the fish.

[Wil Muller]

14:58 Finally Uno is eating now.

[sigma]

Really weird.
Nori got the fish eagerly. And the fish was still flapping.
Suddenly, She just left the fish in the nest flying away.
Uno jumped in and took it immediately.

[Lunan]

On the video it actually looks like Uno was sitting on the cam. And he didn't jump down directly when Nori left. Not until the fish flapped around and almost fell out of the nest - then he jumped down and took it.

[Lunan]

15.08

Looked like a fly-by from left to right, probably a sibling. Then Uno took the fish (lots of it left, he only ate a small piece). And flew off to the left with the fish in his talon.

[Wil Muller]

15:18 Elo arrives on the nest.

[Chimega]

Elo, just looking around kinda odd...

17.00

[Celeste]

NORI very impatient again - fleaping, talking, flying around the nest
17:25 enough nest time - she flew away
17:28 UNO dropped ( was probably on the cam) in for a second
17:3 ELO was not far away, he was here just in time for the fish delivery , NORI came second - too late

[Wil Muller]

17:18 They have their voices back. They were so very quiet this afternoon. A different behaviour than normal.

[Starling]

17.34 Fish delivery! For Elo.





17.37 Madis is back with another fish! For Nori.

[Celeste]

17:38 what just happend
Madis came with second fish, everybody noticed Madis but they didn't notice THE FISH. Madis left the fish and finally NORI spotted it - no fight, no argument, no screams
Even the chicks didn't expect another fish so soon. This time they look hungry.
Good Daddy - HERO MADIS

[lispet]

Yes, here comes Madis with the fish

a surprise fish for Nori - Uno doesn't make a move

[Starling]

Fish party!

[Bratte]

17:38 what just happend
Madis came with second fish, everybody noticed Madis but they didn't notice THE FISH. Madis left the fish and finally NORI spotted it - no fight, no argument, no screams

Another unusual thing is within four minutes Madis deliver two fishes, as fast as an icebox just nearby!
