Estonian Osprey Nest (Irma & Ivo) 2018

[Bea]

Name Riina for femala... kinda familiar to Irma :)

Hello leragas, welcome to the forum!

Name suggestions should be related to the letters of their rings, I posted some lists as help for us non-Estonian-speakers here:

We are happily following you ospreyers, without posting anything!
around 18:20 - 18:25 there was a funny housekeeping session by the three osprets, after early dinner.
So, name poll is on Sunday?

Hi Maria&Xavier,

suggestions for names are welcome until Friday late afternoon/evening, after that I´ll sort them and open the voting topic for the names, it will stay open until Sunday late night.

I still can´t tell exact time because currently can´t predict when I´ll be able to be at my compter longer.

Stay tuned - peek in!

Irma left the nest.
Children, try to eat yourself.

XH immediately left.
XJ became interested, but only to lie on it.

[Sappheira]

12:04
XJ tries to eat on his own, but does not yet know what to keep fish with claws.

[Sappheira]

12:11
XH looks at the fish, but does not try to eat it herself.

12:13
Irma returned and continued feeding.

Choco does not eat, but she works with wings. It seems that it is already flying.

12:21
Irma again sees the threat and leaves the nest.
The young wait for her return.

[Sappheira]

12:44
Irma is come back.

Just to wind back a bit. The small ones have become SO active in the morning! Especially from 05:00 they are exercising, walking around nest, jumping, waving their wings, communicating.. They are also keeping their balance on their feet very well already. Some quick-motion video would perhaps one time be nice to show all that activity

Just a few pics still from the moring.. sorry for disrupting the order!
