08:23 Vita is back.
Teo is expelled by the eggs under the pretext of nesting. :D

Image

Has Teo always had the point in his eye?
So far I only knew the line ... :puzzled:
Image

Image

08:24 Teo complies and leaves the nest

Now comes Teo's moment. :whistling:

He will show Vita how males do nest work.

09:04 am Teo comes back to the nest. He brings nest material.

However, he does not fill the nest with it, but rather covers his vita with love and devotion. :mrgreen:

Image

Image

Image

Vita protests and stands up. Teo quickly stands over the eggs ... his plan seems to be working.

But not with his vita.

09:08 Without a chance to take over the eggs for a while he leaves the nest.

The first one I see today.

Vita has already spotted him. Vita's harvest is really meager.

12:16 Vita seems warm ... and she is sleepy.

According to my weather app, the temperatures are not that high - up to 13 ° C.
But maybe the sun is doing a good job.

15:54 Here comes Teo - with bark. Again ... :laugh:

Vita doesn't nag but if the fish this morning was her only meal today (so far). :unsure:

Can any of you correct? Was there more than that?

15:55 Vita leaves the nest, Teo stays with the eggs
16:25 Now Teo flies out and Vita comes into the nest a minute later.

16:29 Vita is attentive to the top ...

... the camera jumps

New picture: the nest is empty but alarm calls can be heard.

16:30 Vita is back but her gaze remains upwards

17:33 Teo, alarmed, leaves the nest for a few moments.

17:39 do the same again
17:42 Teo returns
He is busy laying the new dry grass.

Image

17:54 And again Teo hurries out of the nest like lightning.
This time even without alarm calls.
He must have been very impressed, or at least very scared.

17:56 Vita or Teo - lands on the camera and is still on the alert, calling.

10:20 Vita stands up, steps away from the two eggs.
She stands like that for a while. At first it looked (to me) as if she wanted to lift the eggs. She stepped back up, but only half lay down.

Image

Image

Vita spreads her wings ... raises the feathers. The 3rd egg is announced. :shake:

10:27:30 Vita stands up - the 3rd egg is born! :loveshower:
Image


From 10:24 :innocent:

Normal, that Vita is not interested in fish .... with Marko and Miina I was afraid that Miina would be sick where she did not take fish :mrgreen:

@sova, yes, these females are usually very attractive to fish. :D



12:44:39 Vita leaves the nest in a hurry.
Her call sounded scared but it was just Teo. :puzzled:

12:55 Vita returns to the nest via the camera stand.
Teo is pushed out of the nest in an almost usual way.

Image

12:56 he flies out.

14:59 Vita calls softly. She looks sleepy.
Image

15:01:36 Vita jumps out of the nest. A second Osprey flies over the nest.
Both can be seen in the sky.

It's possible it was Teo again. Has it happened before with her that she doesn't recognize him directly?
She got very scared. :unsure:


(Situation last night - I did not report it. Also an Osprey ... Vita remained very calm.
