[Hellem]

A very small fish delivery ... Mai still feeds it to the kids - partly ... my cat would have caught such a little fish

[Birdfriend]

16:31 It was a delivery. May feeds some pieces, then she flys with the fish. Most likely she is very hungry.

Edit: The fish was very small.

[Bea]

Ohh-ohhhh .... what exciting!

The osprey stranger, who was so close over the nest at 13:34 wore rings!








It looks like a AY for me


Edit: it turned out that the rings have letters AX

[Owlie]

...

It looks a AY for me

Don't say it was AF!

[Bea]

No, it doesn´t look like a AF .... would have been sensational

One of our youngsters, immediately before the stranger nearly touched down on the nest

Must have been a small one, was gone fast. Mai calling for more. Some other bird answered Mai at about 21:05h. It was no Osprey call. May some bird who told her to be quiet because it wants to sleep.

Yes, you can't see me too good but you heard me very well.

Kids alone in the nest from 03:55h to fish delivery at 06:22h

Stream not found - Pontu pic works
Must be an EENet Problem, no cam works

[Luz4711]

07:41h Pontu pic did not catch Mikk, but it looks like there is fish, one of the siblings under Mai. Mai standing on nest rim on the left side is not a good position.

Cams work again (except Irma)

Intruder at 09:14h Alarm calls Mai. May be we see AY ??? again.

Video starts when Mai was already in the nest. Coming down from cam stand. I watched it before, intruder could not be seen.

Fish at 11:11

[Birdfriend]

12.29 Mikk brings a good fish to his family. At first eats Mai. The chicks call for food to Mum.
12.31 Mai starts feeding.

[Luz4711]

Fish at 15:39h

[Hellem]

15:39 A nice fish from Mikk. Feeding begins. 15:41 Mikk flew off.
15:52 Feeding is over.

[Luz4711]

Video to fish from 15:39h. One of the kids is yelling synchronous with Mai until Mikk has left the nest. They are giving him a hard time sometimes. Is that polite to yell a someone who had just delivered food? One of the sibling is acting a lot like Mai: calling and rearranging the nest and so on. I have to smile when I think of the "Teamwork video" from Bea. And again I have to say: this is a real nice family. Harmoniously and I like it that Mikk stays a while in the nest after delivery. Like he wants to make sure that everything is fine or they need more. There is more to come: ringing, fledging, Mai leaving and Mikk teaching how to fish - I hope.

[Hellem]

17:02 Mai with a nice fish. I missed the delivery, Mikk isn't on the nest. It seems that Mai brought the fish herself Feeding begins.

17:09 Mikk landed with a good sized fish. Mai is feeding her fish and Mikk is waiting.
17:11 Mai finished feeding her fish and took the fish from Mikk.
17:12 Mikk is eating the leftovers from Mai's fish.
17:14 Mikk flew off and one chick is eating the Mai's fish tail and Mai is feeding the other chick.
