Good Morning,
Ivo's favorite hobby - mating and the previous one looks very promising again. He flew away and came back, giving Iiris a little shove to make room for him to continue hatching the egg. Iiris flies away.

07.38 AM
A rebellious crow makes life difficult for both of our Ospreys, so Ivo and Iiris left the nest to hunt the intruder. Egg is alone in the nest.

8:09 Changing of the guard...Iiris leaves, Ivo incubates the egg.

Ivo brought a piece of bark. The girl is napping.

Ivo's short visit to the nest. A minute later he flew away. The girl was left to incubate.

10:44 Ivo brought a big headless fish , Iris took it and flew away, Ivo sat to incubate
11:04 Iris is back with the fish tail, she continues eating on the nest, 11:05 Ivo leaves
11:09 Iris left a tiny piece of this fish tail on the nest and covered the egg

11:19 Iris flew away in a hurry, 10:25 she is back

Iiris was dozing a bit during incubation when Ivo approached the nest with a fish from behind - she had a scare when Ivo suddenly came into her view, she nearly fell from the nest
Ivo had to make an extra round and then he could deliver the headless carp. Iiris took off with it, Ivo took over incubation duty

Iiris lays second egg .... one can hear her quacking short before the egg comes out


I think egg was out at 13:21:50, there she stopped quacking, she got up few seconds later

Looks so nice how sunrays are shining on the eggs at 13:22:28

I just checked and it works with this link:

Looks like there was a change. In such cases it is best to check the channel of Urmas Lett (our Techno-Urmas) or subscribe his channel for notifications.
