13:20
Ivo delivered a nice headless fish to Irma, she was off with it (Fish looks like a Prussian Carp)






Connection is very jumpy today ...

[Bea]

There was a travelling fish this afternoon ....

Ivo delivered a fish at 16:40, but Irma was not interested and Ivo behaved as if someone was in the sky above, so he was away with the fish



Re-delivery of the fish at 16:45 - but again fluttering and warning and Ivo away with the fish

[Bea]

Fish and Ivo came back at 16:48, now Irma showed interest and took the fish over, ate the first morsels on the nest, but then decided to continue eating it on another place, away at 16:52



Eggs were alone for 20 minutes, Irma came home with the half-eaten fish at 17:12, fish is still in the larder

[Bea]

At ~17:30 Ivo was back on the nest, warned and fluttered and called a bit, but calmed down again soon and took off, Irma stays incubating

09:59 Think Ivo lands on dead tree

Shanta, You are right! May be a third egg deep in the tray? Although from the Pontu archive at 7:37 clearly shows 2 eggs. Maybe with the third egg something happened during the invasion osprey-offender?

[Bea]

I am just trying to find out when and how the third egg got lost - but I suppose that it went somehow into the nestrim when Ivo or Irma made some nest restaurations with these huge pieces of bark.

One of these huge pieces of bark was blocking the view for a long time, maybe video archives show something

----

Edit:
Yes, archives show is - it was an unhappy accident yesterday in the morning, at 04:24

Irma was incubating, Ivo came over for a shift change, Irma got up - but one of the eggs kept stuck in her breast feathers and when she took off it fell out and was rolling into the nest rim




The accident in slow-mo

[Shanta]

Sadly had many problems to observe cams of LK (other cams no problem), heard sound but on pics always circles and gave up. Could not follow what's going up ... so frustration.
Today it's a bit better and tried again ... sorry lost fade what to post

okay have it, but darn the time is blocked ... so from my PC time
