Maybe she got a better offer.

It looks as if piret has accepted the loss and is recovering somewhere.

It does but I think Madis may have made a poor choice. Oxanna wants to be fed but not make a nest. She took that fish like a baby and has yet to show she knows what to do with the nesting material he keeps bringing.

it's a pity that Piret's gps does not work

So she can't move now.

Who can go there look for Piret, PLEASE!!!

nonsense - PIRET was ok with her transmitter -
we saw her several times on the nest

i hear a distant osprey call

It's also interesting that Ilmar's girlfriend disappear after she got a fish from him.
Maybe the fish is not her appetite? Hopfully, if Piret gives up Madis, she can make a
interview with Ilmar. They both have a backpack. Only both could understand how
it's going with such a thing on their back.

Oxana brought moss to the nest.

And Madis mated with Oxana, better this time...

About time! Two fishes later

Shes just preening while holding it in her talons though.

That would be great!

Around 14:47 Oxana left the nest and returned again at 14:50 with some moss. Meanwhile Madis eats from the fish remains he had with him.
14:54 Madis flies away and lands on Oxana's backsoon after , but it doesn't look like mating at all since his cloaca is nowhere near that of Oxana; it looked rather like some 'bugger off and make way for my legal spouse Piret'-action.

Btw, people who think that Oxana already has replaced Piret as Madis' mate should think again. Piret is at the moment just recovering from her journey and the attacks on her earlier today and Piret will be back later on to reclaim what is rightfully hers, is my prediction. But I agree, from a human point of view it's hard to watch the drama which is unfolding now. We all want the best for all the birds involved, and that is also what will happen in the end, but hell, what an emotional roller coaster this has been so far.

It seems to be sealed. Madis accepts Oxana better than Piret......

14:54 Was it a mating or an attack?

why Piret and Oxana are fighting originally, Piret can in the nest, and Oxana can't in the nest

but now Oxana in the nest suddenly, and Piret disappear...

I really worry Piret have hurt ..
