She must have gone fishing herself.
Ivo brought the fish and Iiris flew out with her. Then she returned with this fish to the nest.

24 minutes later, Iiris returned to the nest with the same fish, the fish was whole.
It is not clear where Iiris was, why she spent 24 minutes outside the nest without touching the fish.

Sappheira, oh so Ivo, did the fishing!! Thank you! I don’t like it when Iiris, gets inpatient and goes fishing herself. The chicks are still small.
My internet came back, but it’s my time to sleep :offtobed:
I will watch and read the posts, in my morning. :D

To eat a fish in 24 minutes and come back with a new one, with dry feathers - I think that this is impossible.
Riddle, what was it? :shock: :D

Iiris stopped feeding and stood watching what the chicks would do. One chick ate some fish. Then all three turned away. Iiris stands aside, does not eat herself and does not feed the chicks.
Is it time to teach the chicks to eat on their own?

Iiris and Ivo protect the chicks from the intruder who flew very close near the nest.
Ivo was with the fish, he left it and flew to chase the intruder.

The fish lies on the edge of the nest. Nobody touches her.
Now I remember that Irma (we remember you, dear) did that too. The chicks were not fed for a long time, the fish lay on the nest. And then Irma began to feed as usual. Let's see what happens today.

Iiris feeds the chicks, everyone takes turns getting their portion, but Iiris takes long breaks in feeding because she is disturbed by someone in the sky. She stands for several minutes and just looks anxiously at the sky.

Iiris clings to the chicks and does not make any sounds.
Someone very dangerous for the osprey approached the nest? Iiris does not react to strangers osprey.

Iris feed # 1.
# 3 is sleeping.
# 2 sits on the edge of the nest and tickles my nerves (don't fall out, buddy).

11:33
The morning fish was finally finished.

Claws of Iiris. On one of the fingers (claw base) with a snow-white ring.
On the other fingers are also visible, but it caught my eye.
