Three Ospreys in the dead tree and Yolanda alone on the nest. She flapped a bit and called over to the tree a few times.
Maybe she doesn´t like to be alone on the nest for the night



Balcony plant looks pretty limp

Ha, no wonder ....


Yolanda is antsy fluttering around on the nest.

[Summi]

22:20
It is too dark to see who landed on the nest but Yolanda chirped happily and now the two of them are lying side by side

Yes, I saw it too. Yolanda is happy, that she is no more alone.

No fish delivery this morning. Maybe they made outside deliveries or parents want Yolanda to fly.
When pontu-pictures started at 4:43 only Thor and Yolanda were at the nest.

Mostly Yolanda was alone today, only some visits by Thor and Niina.

10:02 Fish for Yolanda, Niina also in the nest

12:01 Yolanda off for maiden light after mom Irma who lefy a second earlier

[Kukelke]

12:01 - Yolanda fledges

[Owlie]

Good girl, Yolanda!
After the flight Irma keeps company to Yolanda on the nest. Yolanda lied down for a moment, she seemed a little exhausted panting a while.

12:19
Irma takes off to the dead tree

[andi7]

13:31 Fish delivery, Irma jumps down from cam and takes the fish, mantling so Yolanda can't get the fish

13:32 Niina landing and receiving pieces from Irma

13:33 Thor comes
http://193.40.124.24/2015-kalakotkas2-f ... -13-34.jpg
13:34 Thor takes the fish from Irma

13:39 Fish already gone, Irma and one sibling left
13:44 Thor moving around, another one sitting at the left rim - most likely Yolanda

[Hellem]

13:31 A fish delivery from Joosep. Irma got it and began feed Yolanda.
13:32 Niina came home. 13:34 Thor arrived and got the fish.
13:39 Thor swallowed the last piece.

[Hellem]

14:09 All kids are at home, Irma on the cam stand, are waiting and calling for fish.
14:11 Niina flew off.

14:33 A headless fish from Joosep. Yolanda got it, she was alone on the nest. Niina landed, called for the fish and took off at 14:35.
14:39 Niina back, tried to take the fish from Yolanda, but no success. She left at 14:41.
14:48 The fish is gone.

[Owlie]

14:33
Delivery to Yolanda, it looks like Niina who is a bit bitter being left without fish
http://193.40.124.24/2015-kalakotkas2-f ... -14-33.jpg

14:35 Niina left
http://193.40.124.24/2015-kalakotkas2-f ... -14-36.jpg

Someone is circling around and above the nest and disturbs Yolanda's eating

14:38
A sibling flew in, both follow something in the air

Yolanda tries to eat as quickly as possible because a sibling (Niina?) shows eager interest in the prey ...

14:41
Niina (?) took off and came back again 14:43 and left again ...

It looks good for Yolanda, she succeeds to keep the fish and eat it wholly

14:49
Irma arrived with fish - I believe it is Niina who dives in and catches the prey = a fish tail
Irma on the cam

14:53
Niina finishes the fish and takes off

[Bea]

Yolanda´s maiden flight



It seems that Irma was scared by someone/something and made this quick-start - and Yolanda followed her

I don´t think she would have fledged this moment otherwise

And her landing is -eeehhhmmmm- quite elegant for a maiden landing

[Birdfriend]

Thank you, Bea! So Yolanda "must" fledge!

[Janne+Ais]

And her landing is -eeehhhmmmm- quite elegant for a maiden landing

That sounds very pedagogical: Never say, kid, you made bullshit.

[IceAge]

Bea , thank you.

Now she thinks *should I do it again ?*

[Hellem]

16:42 A nice still alive fish from Joosep. Niina got it, Yolanda is not interested.
16:46 Thor came home, is interested in this fish
16:54 Niina swallowed the fish tail, Thor got nothing.
16:57 Niina flew off.

[Owlie]

17:26
A delivery to Yolanda by Joosep - though Thor caught it, all kids and Irma on the nest
