This is the third camera-season for Irma & Ilmar´s nest.
Ilmar, the male, wears ring with letters
AF
Irma, the female, has ring with letter/number
U5
Both have metal rings on their right ankles, but designations are not readable in cam view
Last year two chicks were raised, Elar (DI) and Aino (AR)
Ospreys reach body heights of 50-66 cm, and wingspans of 1,27 - 1,74 m. Females are bigger than males.
- Winglength ♂ 448 bis 495 mm ♀ 470 bis 518 mm
- Weight ♂ 1,12 bis 1,74 kg ♀ 1,21 bis 2,05 kg
Usually two or three eggs are laid and incubated 36-41 days.
Young Ospreys fledge after 50-54 days.
Nest is located in South Estonia, not far from a fish farm. Natural river and ponds are in vicinity, too.
