Sounded like a crash landing followed by a crash take off or readjustment.

11:41 - Madis delivers a fish. Nori alone on the nest to receive it.
Image

11:43 - Uno, who was lurking in a tree nearby, lands on the nest. Nori mantles and protects his fish.
Image

11:46 - Uno sits down and waits.
Image

Nori ate the whole fish, and when only the tailpiece was left, Uno came begging for it, but Nori turned away and swallowed it. Uno then found some spilled 'fish spaghetti' and other morsels which he picked up and ate, but it wasn't much.

Poor Uno, from the biggest chick who always got food first, to the chick who has to wait 'till Elo and Nori are satisfied before he gets a chance to eat. But he'll manage. Madis delivers more than enough fish to keep all three chicks with a full stomach and crop.

That Elo was pushing Nori around in a circle trying to get the last little bit of dried fish tail. Nori got so confused she dropped it and then she found it again. Elo pushed her around a bit more (they were actually doing a circle in the nest) the Nori swallowed it as quickly as she could.

That was Uno trying to get a bit, not Elo. I think I saw S8 on the ring.

Yes, Nori managed to eat the whole fish himself, head and all. But I think it was Uno (S8) that was in the nest and only got some intestins and a few bits that Nori dropped.

:shock:

it was UNO not ELO
and PIRET was yelling from upstairs
every time UNO tried to get near the fish and he lay down than again

at least he tried to get the rest of the fish, but NORI ate it quickly
than UNO found a piece of fish behind the railing

Just a nice picture of all three youngsters on the nest, a sight which will become rarer for every day now.

I'm hoping we'll be so lucky to get another family picture, with both Piret, Madis and the three chicks on the nest.

PS, 'little' Nori really seems to be the biggest of them all now.

Yes, because Uno and Elo fly and spend more energy while Nori is only preparing to fly. Looks like Nori and Elo have the same hairdo with Piret.

Has anybody seen a chick bringing fish to the nest yet?
:peek:

UNO came to the nest, when MADIS brought the last fish for NORI
that means to me, UNO watched his Father, when he catched that fish

and he wanted to eat that fish instead of NORI
but PIRET didnt want that and yelled on him, when he tried several times to get the fish from NORI

Nori has been staring in the distance, pondering and swaying his head from side to side for quite some time now, sometimes spreading his wings a bit. He is so preparing his Big Day - which I think will be tomorrow, august 8th, 1 day ahead of schedule.

Btw, also Nori is now often seen at the very same spot on the left side of nest as where Uno and Elo were the day before they fledged. And just like Elo and Uno, Nori is looking to the left most of the time.
My guess is that a lake is visible from that spot on the nest, and that they instinctively know that's where the fish comes from and thus an interesting place to investigate once they can fly.
