Estonian Osprey Nest (Mati & ?) 2018

[Gavril]

Good day! I scrolled back and saw a nice little guest. It's a song thrush or a horse forest (Anthus trivialis)...or...

[yitmoth]

Looks more like a spotted flycatcher (Muscicapa striata).

Thank you! She's pretty!

[Gavril]

Madis, we don''t know. Maybe with Piret?

I want to say - Your words to God's ears! Let Madis and Piret live happily ever after!

[chicktrick]

I do wish we could know that Piret was OK and that thing on her back fell off without harm.

Anyway, does anyone know if those visiting Osprey are likely to be nestless birds or would they have nests nearby maybe?

[Gavril]

Good day! 17: 06. Osprey as if jumped off the webcam or flew over the webcam and flew away from the nest. She flew off to the left and, it seems immediately returned to the webcam.


It's unringed osprey.

[Gavril]

17: 15. Osprey incognito flew off the web camera and flew for a military base.

[Gavril]

17: 43. MM landed in the nest. She was attacked the unringed osprey. MM flew over a military base, an osprey flew incognito to the right.

May 23 - 4.55 PM

Osprey lady (without a ring) chased away another Osprey and stayed in the Nest for a few minutes.

[Gavril]

17: 48. The fight for the nest continues. Seems unhinged osprey is more determined!

[Gavril]

17: 54. MM again in the nest. She only touched the rim of the nest, the unringed osprey again drives the osprey MM.

[Gavril]

It seems that the unringed osprey (similar to a female) is set to settle in the nest and does not intend to share it with MM.

Thanks for reports, pics and videos
Had no time to post my videos from earlier.

12:41 MM comes to the nest for a minute.


MM was on camstand till 13:44. She gives warning calls, mantling


13:45 MM flies off

[Gavril]

Good evening! Thanks for the video, Shanta!
Now it's clear to me that MM and unringed osprey were near the nest all day long. Most likely they are in their free time fishing watching the nest and each other...

I didn't see anyone today.

[Gavril]

May 27. Good day! Yesterday and today I don't see any osprey... there was only one flytrap. It's 13:30. where the close sing cranes.

31. May


After some days without seeing an Osprey, MM today thought its time for a visit early in the morning.
05:46 She jumps into the nest, can't say for how long before she was sitting there

[Shanta]

06:46 After cleaning the feather dress MM jumps back into the nest




A bit working

[Shanta]

07:02 back into the nest

[Shanta]

07:26 Back into the nest


She makes a nest bowl ... maybe for next year




07:31 MM flies off

Hope, MM returns soon

07:31 MM flies off

Thanks for the video! MM does not intend to give up the nest. It makes me happy! It seems that the competitors didn't come today.
