thanks to all for reports and pics during the day

Wonderful BHP, thanks. And you are often on time and have beautiful pictures

Beautiful bird song during the late evening. Is it a nightingale?

21.13pm

Pictures on here are just beautiful. I loved the one yesterday with just the eggs, and the suns rays reaching from over the tree tops. Nature is wonderful. So many thanks for all the captures and the daily update. Great to hear that Madis is caring for Piret so well.

Piret was on the nest in earlier archive pictures, but this archive picture suggests a switch - perhaps Madis is rolling the eggs.

Madis arrives (what did he bring?). In the second picture (from Pontu archives), I think I see the tail of a fish.

Madis is eating a fish, Piret is not interested.
Does she not want to leave the eggs with Piret or has she already eaten?

Only very short time it rained and not much.

16:59 Madis arrived. Piret is twittering very much, Madis don't go on the eggs but stays a few minutes. First time i recognize they both stand on just one leg?




17:05-17:11 Madis upstairs, Piret twittering the hole time.


18:32 Its raining. Madis came with fish (with head) for Piret. Madis on the eggs now.

As we don't see the ospreys in flight,or fishing you can see them here;
