Ilmar is flown away shortly thereafter.
It was a strange situation, tension was in the air. Ilmar has not attacked intruder.
Whether they knew each other

[MarshaMay]

The intruder stayed at the edge of the nest for almost a minute it seemed. Ilmar didn't attack only mantled. After the other osprey flew off, he flew after it.
