16:37h

after feeding PIRET brings a small branch ^^

16:16 - Madis delivers a fish.


16:16 - Piret lands on the nest too, the chicks turn around and the whole family is facing the same direction.


16:17- Madis left and Elo the first to receive food.


16:18 - Nori moves in too, receives food and Elo watches. It turned out that Nori got most food this feeding.


16:32 - Nori and Elo satisfied and moved away. Uno picks up the tailpiece. Shortly after this picture was taken, Piret returned to feed Uno, but Uno didn't like his fishtail to be 'stolen' by Piret and pecked twice at her.
Piret then left Uno alone with 'his' fishtail. Uno swallowed it soon after.

since hours
ELO ist mostly standing on her feet - even when she gets sleepy -
did she find out, that the wind is cooling her in the heat?

Elo exercising her flapping, while Nori -who just wants to digest his copious meal and investigate the branch in front of him- seems to be rather disturbed by this.

"Mum told you not to flap in the living room while I'm studying these branches!"

UNO means

"If you dont feed me anymore,
I will fly and catch my own fish"

Epic!



18:48 - Uno was doing some flapping exercises, he even jumped doing that! He was beind all and landed here after jumping:

Couldn't catch him in the air while jumping, dumb.

18:49 - Chirps. The chicls were watching at the camera, maybe they were staring at Piret or Madis, don't know, but I saw the wing of one of them on the camera.

18:52 - Wings sounds behind the camera. Did someone arrived or just left?

18:56 - Chicks are chirping again, crackling sound behind the camera.

19:04 - "Hey! What was that?"

19:47h



big headless fish delivery
MADIS had his meal already ^^

19.46

Large fish brought by Madis.

Piret sees (or hears) him coming long before he arrives at the nest

UNO got the fish for himself -
ELO is trying to steal ^^

19:50 - Piret lets Uno eat the fish on his own. And he's doing well.

19.49

Uno doesn't want to share the fish.
Elo complaining to Piret.
Nori doesn't care, just waiting.....

19.56

Uno stops eating...what will happen now?

19.58 Piret puts her talon on it and starts feeding Nori, Elo also moving towards Piret.

19:57h


PIRET overtook the fish

20.00

Nori chased away, Uno also moving towards feeding Piret.

20.02

Interesting: Uno is pushing forward very far and Piret is not amused, backs away with the fish, but Uno keeps pushing, so Piret feeds Uno.

Elo pushing between Nori and Uno. Maybe Nori feels safer when lying flat, with the big siblings being so pushy.

Nori starts working the decoration of the nest.

NORI is very hungry,
but has to wait a long time

Wing exercises

Chick S7 (July 28th)


Chick S8 (July 28th)


Chick S9 (July 26th)

For comparison: The wings of an adult osprey (July 2nd )



Have a good weekend everyone!

18.20

Nori is trying to sneak in from behind Piret but is too big already, she just has to wait until Elo too will be done and hope there will be enough left for her.

20.23

Feeding finished, tail for Piret, nothing for Nori.
Just has to wait for the next fish delivery
