I watched all the videos from Bea, Shanta and Gavril. Thank you so much for providing us with all the material. Looks like there is some action after all in this nest. Maybe one of them, who is so crazy about this place, comes back next year and we can view a new Osprey family.

I hope that MM will look after the successful male osprey on fishing and will wait for his return from migration next spring.

Good morning,

Hi Shanta, I really like this MM. She looks healthy, well nourished and probably be a perfect mother for babies. Hope we'll see her next year in the nest with a healthy man too - laugh

[Gavril]

Good day! Thank you all for the updates. 11: 35. Most likely, this MM flew to the webcam.11: 47. Yes, it's MM. 11: 47. She jumped off the webcam, moved a few sticks and flew away.

[Gavril]

16: 40. Someone landed on the webcam. MM?

[Gavril]

17: 34. MM jumped into the nest and engaged in the design. Then cleans the feathers.

MM preening...

6 PM May 19
For 20 minutes I watch MM in the nest of Mati. It seems she feels very comfortable. She almost falls asleep and for quite awhile she is cleaning her feathers. Now only a proper husband is missing.

Preparing for a nice male

She is still there and the cleaning doesn't end

[Gavril]

18: 29. MM flew out of the nest to the right and landed on a tree. A minute later she returned to the webcam. It seems that this place MM was chosen as the most comfortable platform.

18: 34. MM someone is worried. She jumped off the webcam and gave a brief warning. A few seconds flew away.

Oh! It's not MM.

[Gavril]

I went back and saw that MM flew away from the tree to the left. It's probably not her who landed on the webcam, but the male without the rings.

It looks like the osprey without rings is also a female. MM and the unringed one are now chasing each other.
