Irma got the fish. Can't tell who the dancer is, probably it's ED.

Good morning! 9:47. Irma held the gaze of the bird. Now it can be seen on the left. 9:51. On the old tree came a pigeon.

Then she calls with her typical voice.

News about male osprey ED

ED hatched 2013 in a nest about 50 km NNE from here, in Jõgeva county. He was ringed by Joosep Tuvi in July 2013.

[Janne+Ais]

Thanks Bea!
So he will be a first time father.

ED came over from the dead tree and delivered a fish, but no Irma far and wide. He left again with it.

Another mating attempt

[Owlie]

Irma has caused me tinnitus all seasons for three years
And she still does right now
... from cam stand
And Ed on the dead tree doesn't help me

17:26
A raven on the cam stand disturbing Irma on the nest?
Irma took off, I still hear the raven's voice ... There is also an osprey in the dead tree, maybe Ed?

[Birdfriend]

18:33 Irma on the camstand? It gives two ospreys in the dead tree. One flew away. Irma is loud calling.

[Owlie]

They are both on the nest, Irma calls for results, Ed does his best by moving ONE stick. Irma calls for more proper husband - Ed doesn't quite understand it yet ...
18:42-3
Ed takes off to land on a tree far away in the forest

[Bea]

20:04
Irma on the nest for hardly a minute, then jumping upside cam support

[Bea]

21. April

08:46
When I was opening the cam Irma was on the nest, it looks as if not much nest building activities happened until now.
She is sitting and waiting, quiet, not calling and demanding fish.


09:19
Tweeting from upside on the cam stand, it sounded like a mating (attempt?). No one visible, only a wing tip for a moment. Then one osprey flying towards the woods, think it was ED, as Irma is still tweeting from upside from time to time.

[Bea]

There were two more mating attempts in the morning, but both not successful. Irma is cooperative, but ED still has to learn and practice ...

06:19 and 07:21

[PINKELUZA]
