Great new cam, thank you. These Ospreys are a new and interesting acquaintance to me, although they exist in the area where I live. Piret & Madis are beautiful names. Thank you for all the great pictures and videos from today
I was lucky to see ( and hear ) them live for the first time on their last visit:

Piret

Madis

Saturday 21 April

Good Morning
I think I opened it to the male on the nest.




7:11
I heard him fly away.

7:28

He (?) returned maybe with a big stick.

7:35

They were both in the nest for at least one moment.

Wow Loud :peek: :peek:

Again both in the nest for a moment

I think that is what I just heard and saw. Banded one was in the nest calling, The other landed with something (food), and the first accepted it and flew off the nest with her prize.

Hi!
yesterday evening i saw both ospreys on the nest and they both had rings

short visit

oh, what is the Osprey clutching in his right foot in Fireblade's first picture? It looks like a little red-headed bird?

Nancy It might be but its more likely to be a headless fish.. the ospreys eat the head off the fish first (maybe its a delicacy) before offering it to their mate.

Sunday 22 April

Osprey in the nest with its back to us.

Good morning!
