[Hellem]

Uta , thank you very much for the great pictures and video , it seems to me that both these ospreys are young females

Thank you very much Uta for your great video and pictures. Even if Mati's nest looks deserted, it is a pleasure to see people come by every now and then.

14: 42. A little ringing visitor.

Perhaps, this Warbler. Sylvia.

No, flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)

Good morning,
the nest of Mati was visited again.

[Polly]

Good morning!

Almost got lucky earlier. But I just saw the Osprey fly away.

Thanks for your sightings! :) :)

Uta, great!


Can someone read the rings?

[Bea]

Osprey MM was also here at 04:54, looked like checking the nest

[Bea]

MM back at 06:55, shifting some sticks, this looks quite like "playing nest" ... having no own nest yet, but already getting a feeling about how things are going on in the world of adult birds

[Bea]

And again shifting some sticks at 07:40




Maybe all not bad prospect for next year, hm?

05-15-18 Hi all!
SheMM was back and starts moving sticks.What for a beauty.She looks well feed.
After nest work she jumps on the cam,stay a while before she fly up.
Think great hope for next year,so she survive the migration.Behavior shows,she is now the resident female from this nest.

Ready with nest work and jump up to the cam



Thank you Helem,Jenny,Poly and Bea for the great update.

[Gavril]

Good day! What's the good news. Thank you all for the updates! It seems that osprey MM reserved the nest. 2 unsuccessful seasons is too much for a good nest!
vainamoinen Thanks for the tip.

[Rita]

True, Gavril, I guess we will see her next season claiming this nest.

[Polly]

Gavril, I share your hopeful thoughts. It seems that the female appeals to the nest.

Bea has described it sweet.

Maybe there will be an interested male this season? Then we can wait for the 2019 season.
(Until then, I will hypnotize this nest probably unsuccessful on the Cam and see everything - only no Ospreys. )

Too bad that the couples spend the migration together. (Which I do not understand.)
But these are human thoughts. It is probably only about reproduction in the animal world and partnerships that are only closed for this purpose.

The osprey couples don't spend the migration together, the female ospreys are in Africa already when the males are still on the nest and feeding the osprets

[Polly]

Hellem, forgive me and thanks for the correction! I meant it right. I wrote wrong.
I know that they do not migrate together.

.....Until then, I will hypnotize this nest probably unsuccessful on the Cam and see everything - only no Ospreys. ......

Maybe we should do hypnosis together...although without jokes, I in Sunday, too, hypnotized!

[Polly]

I' m looking forward !!!! My son had to show me why I could not go back in time on Youtube.

Look what we have discovered....

17:26
Osprey without rings.

Madame MM





Also 17:26
MM leaves the nest.




Almost at the same time the pristine Osprey appears. The Male?

[Polly]

Gavril, you do not know how proud I am right now.

Many have always been so lucky ... not me. I will continue hypnotizing. Nothing is as nice as seeing something live. Let's not give up!
