This morning ( ca. 07:41 ) was a third osprey around the nest and Ivo jumped at his Lady. It looked possessively, that is my Lady, go away.

Still just a couple of pics from the morning..
04:56
The lady arrived to the nest, followed on hot heels by Ivo.
04:57
The latter didn't waste any time and immediately hurried to resume the most important of his current duties
05:01
Some more morning exercise for a fresh start of a day

Ivo with some dry grass. The lady follows

Another futile attempt..
Well, at least he can take a good look around
06:20
the Lady doing some nest work while Ivo on guard
06:21
Another unsuccessful mating attempt. This time, she raised the tail, but he screwed it up

Another unsuccessful attempt.. He even tried to "bite her" gently, but to no avail
.
08:08 another mating attempt - no good
09:35 another one, no good
10:08 another attempt, did not work
Nest work (performed by Ivo):
05:21 a stick delivered
05:56 another one
06:25 a large stick
06:43 another stick
07:36 another stick
07:46 a tree bark
10:06 the large stick
So the statistics from 04:56 to 10:08 = 7 futile mating attempts; 8 nest material deliveries, all successful

Thank you to everyone for your comments and the beautiful pics.
Special thanks to Seira for clarifying the fish issue I raised and the 10.50 fishtail with which Ivo flew away.
