Has Elo had a fish yet? He was very hungry earlier.

:peek:

ELOs crop looks empty

[Wisteria]

ELOs crop looks empty

Now that you mention it, it does look empty, and there hasn't been anything in it for some time now. Elo has been so patient today, I hope there is a fish soon.

Nori is back. Then Elo (S9)

The way they show up together seems to indicate that before they migrate they are still seeing each other as family, although they are also clearly competitors.


(So it was you maertha. Nancy said "Spot" was her doing and I did not remember that -- it is interesting how some names -- like Nori seem to work -- for me that means that they seem easily pronounceable -- and when they work for lots of us it means people with different language back grounds can say them -- and in my mind at least, gender neutral.)

[Starling]

Nori at the nest, Elo flew in too.

Someone is in the air – intruder?
or Madis invites the kids to fishing trips?
There are so many ospreys, that Madis and the fish do not fit in.






at 12.06 free landing strip for Madis

Intruder-ALARM

three chicks in panic in the nest-bowl

a very big bird

[Starling]

[alice44]

I saw an osprey -- Madis or not -- fly past the nest but there was no delivery. They seem disappointed. I wonder if Madis lost his fish.

They seem to know when a delivery is coming, but maybe the nest is also useful because it is high and they can see what is happening?

These babies are starving

that is rather a intruder

[nirtak]

Madis is wise, he wants to make their to take their own fish

[alice44]

11:35 or 6
they started calling again but they went completely quiet. After all their noise it is amazing how quiet they can be,

[meierlein]
