That's the one with the darker head (black feathers more together). That's funny how Mai tried to get it back.
(I named him Bruno for myself - I guess it is a he )

Small one at 09:00h
First I thought he brought no fish, but she started feeding. Hard to see in the hay. May be just a piece of fish.

13:34
It seems a stranger osprey was very close to the nest, even tried to land on it, think I saw talons hovering over the nest and an upset Mai.

Very short moment, too short to be sure.

Pontu caught a bit of it

Have to wait until I can download the appropriate video patch

[Birdfriend]

13:34 Intruder! He flys by over Mai.

[Birdfriend]

Bea We have the same picture and the same watching moment!
13:48 Mai takes off. Most likely the stranger is still in the nearby.

Mikk was eating the fish head till Mai took over the rest. She doesn't start feeding at once, she has much to tell to Mikk first ...

14:04
The family negotiation is over and Mikk leaves

14:06
Mai still holds the fish, which is still also flapping

When I look 14:12 Mai has started to feed one of the chicks and also eats a great deal herself

[Hellem]

14:22 Feeding is over.

[Bea]

The 13:56 delivery was a bit funny, Mikk was already standing on the nest with the fish, Mai tweeting from the cam stand.
She came not down immediately. Fish was still alive and jumped a bit around.

[Hellem]

14:48 Mai is calling alarm and protects the nest.
