Have a feeling that the oldest brother will be the first to fledge - he does the most vigorous wing exercises of all!

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

5:11-5:31
in 3 minutes

Thank you, mogga, for the great video! In time lapse it looks so funny how their down feathers come falling out like snow during wing exercise

13:58 Ivo is back with the fish and takes off again to the dead tree
14:00 Irma landed and some sec later Ivo with the fish, Irma took the fish and Ivo flew to the dead tree
14:04 Irma started feeding

14:31 The fish is gone, Irma swallowed the fish tail

It would be interesting to know how their views look like. Now they all look at right, it is maybe more interesting view than the left side from our cam view ...

Within two weeks we will see a maiden flight if the last year schedule holds:

27. July --- Daimar (DZ) makes his maiden flight viewtopic.php?p=544444#p544444
29. July --- Daisi (DX) makes her maiden flight viewtopic.php?p=544930#p544930

This year, though, the two first hatchings happened some days earlier than last year ...
