Estonian Osprey Nest (Marko & Miina) 2020

[Gavril]

I don't think it's male osprey, females attack the females usually

10:37 Miina rolled the eggs

Yes, it is, Hellem! Especially since last year's cheeky female for some time after the "departure" of Miina in migration, fed with the production of Marko.

[Gavril]

10:44 Marko brought a big branch, is standing next to Miina

I wonder where Marko was during the attack of the unknown osprey?

[Hellem]

11:12 Miina rolled the eggs

Gavril, Marko probably was sitting in the forest and was waiting for the result of the battle

[Hellem]

11:26 Marko landed, Miina stood up and Marko saw the 2 eggs
11:30 Miina is preening on the nest rim and Marko is standing next to the eggs
11:31 Mating and Marko flew away

11:32 Miina covered the eggs
11:33 Marko is back with a piece of bark, it's raining
11:36 Marko flew away

[Gavril]

11:28. Marko Arrived. - Where have you been, dear?" - asks Miina...I've done so many things! Marko, after a little thought, flew away and immediately returned for a successful mating.

[Gavril]

11:33. Marko arrived with a piece of bark. This is his favorite camouflage-building material. A few minutes later, Marko flew away.

Where have you been, dear?" - asks Miina...I've done so many things!
