11:35 The next fish!
This one too is still wriggling. Teo and Vita have problems with the handover. Vita immediately starts working on the fish. She knows exactly how to stop the fidget ... :/

Feeding again with the public. As if the thickly pooped lens wasn't bad enough.
At the end, Vita turns ... how nice. :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

4:05am. Vita, has a leftover large fish in the nest, and she is feeding her chicks a very early morning breakfast. :whistling: :D
I can’t actually see the chicks, because the picture is foggy right now.

Polly, nice pictures, from Wednesday.

15:19 Dad landed with a Whale-Carp :mrgreen:

It's HUGE and alive; jumping :rolleyes:

Mom didn't want to deal with it, first she flew away and later came back to watch him feeding.

Another beautiful sky, this early morning in, Kurzeme, Latvia!
4:50am
Teo arrived with yet another Whopper Fish!
:slap: 8-) This early bird gets the fish, not the worms! Lol :shake:
Vita, feeds these two fluffy chicks.
The pin feathers are coming in and these chicks are getting bigger and bigger!

:wave: Have a Fun Saturday Everyone!

Around 16h57 in the most miserable of weather, Theo feeds Vita who is playing umbrella for the chicks. A sweet moment - I think Vita was so cold she needed a fuelling before flight.

:wave: Good Morning!

5:45am. Papa Teo, delivers a big whole fish! Vita, feeds the two dumplings. It looks like it might rain again, so it’s good to get the chicks fed now.

Polly, thanks for the video of Teo feeding his Vita! I love the way Vita, makes sounds like a young one, while being fed.
So sweet!

:wave: Handbyl, great bonding moments!

13:13 Theo brought a large fish and Vita started feeding; kids were sitting like students and having their lunch.

13:15 There was someone in the air and an alarm was called.
Kids got down flat ! They acted automatically as if they knew what to do since ages... This instinct is always nice to watch :thumbs: :bow:

After lunch, both went out for a walk around the nest, the egg was out of the center.
They are so cute with their growing feathers. Thanks Theo for bringing whales :mrgreen:

The two also clean a lot ... or 'scratch' each other? I can imagine that the needle springs itch a bit.
