11:32
Ilmar was on the nest for two minutes, when he landed Elar went flat, perhaps s/he thought there was a threat around ...


11:36
Aino lands on the nest, she thought that Ilmar has delivered a fish, she takes off again when she recognized that she was wrong

[andi7]

8:32 Irma visited the nest http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -08-33.jpg

9:28 Ilmar delivered a headless fish to Elar http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -09-28.jpg

Elar ate the complete fish until 9:40 (?), maybe someone took it, but 9:38/39/40 pontu-pictures are missing.

Edit:
He/she has no fish on the 9:41-picture. http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -09-41.jpg
Maybe Elar dropped some leftovers there: http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -09-42.jpg

On 10:44-picture there is no fish visible: So maybe a fast delivery.

14:40 Osprey calling and flying near dead tree

[IceAge]

Elar is dozing.

[andi7]

15:58 Elar hoovering over the nest, going up and down in the air

16:04 Aino arrives, jumps to cam, stumping on the housing, scratching talons

[Bea]

16:03
High hovering over the nest *phewwww*

[Gavril]

16:05. Aino gives lessons Elar. He descended from a webcam, and then flew and flew over the forest.

[andi7]

16:03 Pontu got it http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -16-03.jpg

16:18
Ilmar with a fish to the nest, but then Irma arrives and claims the fish for herself - and she takes off with it




http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -16-19.jpg



16:20
Aino arrives on the nest - a bit too late ;) She complains about the situation, hollering.

[andi7]

16:18 Irma arriving, her eyes on the still gasping fish


16:27 Aino still complaining, he/she only ate the small piece of fish at 7:25 and missed two deliveries to Elar

[Bea]

16:50
Finally - fresh fish from Ilmar for hungry Aino, who welcomed him screaming. But it is Elar who had the beak on it first.
Tssss ... it seemed as if Aino was a bit afraid of this still alive and pretty big sized Tench ....

16:56
Re-delivery of the Tench - head is eaten from Ilmar, and now Aino takes it and wants to eat it.







Hmmmm - it seems he took off with it again and both osprets are nibbling on a cone, where some morsels of the fish kept hanging on ...



Edit: when I was cutting the video, I saw that Ilmar didn´t take off with the fish .... but the fish was still alive and flapped over the rim!
I´ll make a slow-mo-video of it.

[Bea]

17:28
Next fish for the nest - a Carp, also still alive, but Aino is not afraid of it this time ;)







http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -17-29.jpg



Fish is eaten by Aino (exclusively?)

[Bea]

17:56
ELAR TOOK OFF !!!!

Aino took off first, after she had finished the fish - and seconds later Elar dared to fledge, too ♥



Always wind under your wings, Elar and Aino!

[andi7]
