Rujasu, I saw that Osprey too!
6:34 Mati is on the cam stand now.
He arrived to the nest maybe 10 minutes after the other Osprey had left.

Mati is doing nestwork with much verve - for sure he is very faithful that Mai will return :nod:

Also soft nest material is necessary ...

He is scratching so hard that twigs flew over him :laugh:

He nearly sinks ...

Was it a Buzzard calling in the background? Or a Jay imitating a Buzzard?
