18.24 Madis in nest - looking much around then probably waiting for Piret to return. Haven´t heard any noise from upstairs

18:45 Madis is on the nest.

19:10 Piret is back settling down on the eggs. I didn't see the changeover.

Good evening

18:25 One osprey in the nest
18:43 Seems to become a bit nervous
18:47 Still on the eggs, but arranges nest material within its reach
18:53 The bird in the nest is the male – it gets up, the ring is visible. The female returns to the nest
18:55 He leaves, she sits down
18:56 – 19:01 She rolls the eggs, sits down, gets up, sits down
19:03 The female is sleepy now
19:05 I closed the camera


18:53 Female returns to the nest

One osprey in the nest when I opened the cam at 18:25


It´s the male, the ring is visible


18:53 Female returns to the nest

Breeding pair in the nest


18:55 Male leaves


Female in the nest


19:03 The female is sleepy

20:15 Piret was a bit annoyed,she had to do lots of clearing up after Padis.

thanks for info about doings in nest, and photos & video

photo from morning with rain, Piret at 9.52


and from this evening at 21.06 Madis came with part of a fish (which? perhaps eel?) for Piret which she toke outside the nest to eat


I have not time for watching constantly, but just now and then have a shortly look.
But it seems that the Ospreys have other habits than the WTEs. Their shifts in nestduties do not seem to be that regularly - but the last one I saw today was Piret just as other evenings since the first egg arrived, just like Linda.

Sums???

7:28 It is very windy ! this must be Piret on the nest, as she is chirping up a storm, while the wind is howling



7:38 a bit of sleep never lasts long

Good morning.

8:45 One bird on the eggs, very stormy weather.
There´s a big piece of bark next to the osprey in the nest
8:48 The eagle gets up, calls, sits down
8:49 It gets up, rearranges something in the nest bowl, sits down
8:5o The bird in the nest is the male, the ring is visible; female returns
(maybe with a cluster of this grey lichen in her talon – or it was at the edge of the nest where she landed)
8:51 Male leaves, female sits down
8:55 He returns with another big piece of bark. Obviously quite difficult to handle in the strong wind. The female tries to do something with it
8:57 The female leaves, and now the male has got a problem. A part of the bark covers the eggs, so he can´t sit down. He´s working very hard to put it on a place where it doesn´t disturb, but that seems to be nearly impossible. At last he managed to transport it at the edge of the nest, but the wind brought it back... A hard "fight" until 9:02
9:02 Landing sounds from the camera. The male stopped struggling with the bark and started to arrange the hay quite forcefully
9:04 He rolles the eggs in the nest bowl
9:05 He sits down
9:07 I closed the cam

8:50 Female returns, the bird in the nest is the male, Madis


8:51 Male (ring at the right leg) leaves

8:52 Female osprey, Piret, in the nest


The male, Madis, returns with another large piece of bark

8:57 The female decided to leave the nest for a while... and now the male osprey had a problem…

I saw at YouTube that scyllabub has recorded the whole scene, so I hope it´s OK to post the video here. Maybe scyllabub is the new Lk member skylla? However, welcome skylla, and if it is your video, thank you!

Good morning!

All my pictures are back in our forum...I'm very glad! Great thanks to our dear Jo!!!!!!!!!!
