Irma got a fish from Ilmar - but what has happened with Ilmar's right leg, there is lot of blood?

12:46
Ilmar brooding and wishes to fall asleep, he is tired - maybe he has been in an accident ...

[Gaby]

Ilmar ...
What happened? Blood from a fish or has he hurt?

[Owlie]

16:20 - - -
As far as I can see there is a crow trying to chase Ilmar from a tree branch - maybe the crow also injuried Ilmar earlier today?

- - - further wild chasing in the air around the tree (Ilmar's tree!), Irma flew to the branch to observe

... Irma back in the nest - it might have been her that the crow chased in the air, Ilmar still sitting on the branch

[Starling]

18.11 Irma returns... mating.

[macdoum]

Will Irma lay a 2nd egg today ?

Has anyone determined if Iilmar is indeed injured ?

The cuckoo is singing away.

19:42 Ilmar's turn: Ilmar flies into the nest and incubates; Irma flies to the dead tree.

20:00 Irma flies away from the dead tree.

20:03 Irma's turn.

20:21 Irma flies away. The nest is empty.

19:50 Ilmar's right leg looks like picture: some brown, not blooding. Maybe it's fish blood. (I hope Ilmar wasn't hurt.)

[Starling]

20.42 Irma left with a fish, I think.

[Owlie]

Are we all just awaiting Irmas second delivery of an egg? I at least have been online almost all the day as we can read that Ospreys lay eggs with three days intervalls ...


... she just goes out and Ilmar takes over the first born egg ...

[Lucy]

19:42 Ilmar's turn: Ilmar flies into the nest and incubates; Irma flies to the dead tree.
(...) Ilmar's right leg looks like picture: some brown, not blooding.
