Hello Starling,
thank you for your welcome greeting and also for your kind words. I am sure this forum will give me pleasant times because we all here share the same love and that's a very warm feeling! :-)
Same wishes to you and lots of greetings to Helsinki!

19:31 Nori steals the rest of the fish, after Uno has eaten most of it

NORI stole UNO the fish

19:31 Nori stole what was left from the fish from Uno

Madis we need more fish. Elo is hungry !!

Hello alice44,
also THANKS to you for your reply comment. Ahm, well, to be honest: avi pics are very small here and my first look at your pic was: "Ah, a Tapir - but with unusual coloration and a weird mouth, looks like a beak O_O ....."
But 2nd look I recognized it's a birdie ;-D
And you used the stolen smiley very well fitting ;-) :-D
So many animal and nature protection organisations around the whole world try to change human's behaviour and there's to see successes, indeed! But it's a very long way until those successes will help nature and animals as much as it's needed (because it's a problem with the governments). But indeed there's to see a tiny smoldering light in the darkness :-)
Kind greetings to Oregon :-)

Resting in evening sun.

A lot of opinions. :) Maybe there´s a need for new topic "rings/transmitters (pros and cons)". I understand both sides. However Urmas from Kotkaklubi has been very friendly and he explained and told about this transmitter, even though he´s not forced to share us anything. Thank you again Kotkaklubi & Urmas and we wish Piret all the best with the new transmitter. And Jopie & Jasmijntje, please don´t leave the forum.

"Our" ospreys here are part of a project called ESTLAT - that's involving already two countries! Without this project, we would not even see this nest! I am also sure that Urmas is not going on a holiday to Scotland, but to meet and exchange with colleagues doing the same kind of work there.
Repeatedly the "Loch of the Lowes" project (also Scotland) was mentioned here as role model, place to look up things we did not know etc. They put transmitters on birds!

And last - it is not so long ago, that "ornithology" meant, the interested ornithologist shot down the bird of interest, got it stuffed, collected eggs and chicks for the collection etc. We have come a long way and I think it is a good way, even more as even ordinary people, like most of us are here, have the opportunity to study and learn (and also distribute what we learnt, at least I am doing!) about the life of these birds! And all this without even leaving our living rooms and walk into the wood! Let alone climb on a tree and sit on it for 8 hours without moving!

Maybe a little off-topic at the moment, but this was a wonderful scene
I think one could call this flying.

Maertha, thanks for being on-topic.

Definately !!!

A super take off and a perfect landing on the nest again He could also handle the windstream

Fabulous Maertha......so sorry I missed this moment but thank goodness you caught it. And by the way.....this IS the topic....LOL....thank you....

Maertha,
thanks! I watched it on the webcam and thought exactly the same! Great pictures and great work to have saved that part!

Jo UK,
also thanks for your personal post. I think this website and the cameras are a good way to inform and to sensitizing people all around the world about the wild life taking actually part out there. Lot better than zoos.

Hi to all again

I'm sure we all like to have Jopie , Jasmijntje , and gitana back here at the forum.
We all have different opinions, but that should not prevent them to write here. If they still want but I'm sure they want!
I prefer to have the humorous side back here, and the informative one

My pic now (from a few hours ago) :

"Ever watch where your siblings are"

If members feel that more discussion of the transmitter rights and wrongs is needed, w can start another topic. Please post here if you wish to continue that discussion.

A quick question.....where will these youngsters migrate to? And is there a lot known (posted info somewhere????) as to the conditions where they will spend their winter season? Wooded, forrested area?......Seaside area???????....How has the weather been this year in their targeted migratory area (s)? Dry, rainy? Does anyone know where I can get some information? Thank you.

maybe this helps you ?

European ospreys should migrate to Africa.
