OBSERVATIONS~ ESTLAT Osprey~Madis & Piret's nest ~ 2013

[lispet]

So I suppose Madis arrived either yesterday (did not compare the photos of yesterday bird and of Madis from last year, think breast markings are important to compare) or this early morning.

By that time we had only 3 photos available of the yesterday bird and I was eager to compare and tried to find a photo of 2012 Madis in the same position

Urmas, thank you and your team for your great work and giving us this opportunity! Now we can forget our other hobbies for the summer

Madis waiting for Piret?

[Starling]

Chimega & everyone!
Madis on the nest again.

[Wisteria]

Madis is in the nest and I think I hear another osprey calling!


Also very loud aircraft and maybe sonic booms? Sounds like bombs almost.

[Starling]

[Bea]

Well, this could be the guy all are waiting here for .... ring on right leg

[Wisteria]

^^^ Bea, I love the shadow in that picture, it looks like a man wearing a derby!


Busy making the nest bowl deeper

12:25 A stranger in the nest. Without rings.

[Kapa]

There just was an eagle in the nest, but I couldn't see any ring.
New one?

[Urmas]

I'm not sure, but stranger seems to be a female. At least there is possible to hear voice of male displaying in sky. That was the same if female arrived last year and Madis was sky-dancing for her.
But we will see probably soon the reality. The breast color is suitable for both... Interesting.

I can hear another osprey off in the distance, calling, and I am sure Madis hears it too. He is calling, too, and watching the sky plus mantling.

[Bea]

Is the wing of the 2nd osprey hurt?

Do you think this because the wings are hanging low?

This is behaviour, don´t worry.
