In this nest? No, wasn't it in the Latvian osprey nest? I remember having read of it - and the chick was quite big already! WTEs do hunt several bird species, mostly though water birds ...
I have understood that when Irma's first (since the cam was installed) spouse Ilmar was trapped for installing his satellite transmitter and changing his rings, the ornithologists trapped him by showing a WTE scare in front of the nets they could pick up him from (there is a picture of it somewhere in the earlier years threads front page). I understand that ospreys are very alert with WTEs.
I have also learned that young (0-5 yrs old) WTEs, who have not learned to fish by their own, often steal fish just from ospreys, who are more talented in fishing.
Ten points to Irma today for protecting her offspring
Of Ilmar, the satellite osprey:

I don't find the picture of the scene where Ilmar was trapped for installing the transmitter and changing his rings.
It was on the ground (a jungle), the net was set behind a WTE scare, where Ilmar was supposed to fly in order to protect his nest and territory. And the trapping succeeded and our Ilmar got his satellite transmitter. Which showed next autumn that Ilmar flew all the way to southern Africa, to Angola for his winter. Next two years he was back from those thousands of kilometers to this exact nest position at this particular nest. We don't know Irma's migration routes, but we can admire these birds' navigation skills year after year - now sixth year with our Irma. For Irma And for Ivo

I answer even if you ask Lispet: it was the Latvian Looduskalender Osprey camera nest 2017. I have seen the video of the tragic case. It was cruel to see, as the chick was already quite big, but couldn't defend itself.

Ivo came in with a very, very, very little fish and finally let Irma take it over and give a little evening snack to her offspring. I think the Smallie got the tail

Again a baby fish, one bite of a fish - ok, better than nothing ...

Thank you, Mogga, for the poop shooting competition video - who can shoot farther from the nest! All three managed to comply with the rule to get it done in one minute!
Good night.
Good night.

Breakfast is served and the beaks are wide open of our three ospreys. Their voices are so delightful as they make themselves noticeable.
