Estonian Osprey Nest (Ivo & Iiris) 2019

16:01
Iiris is eating the fishtail
The chick on the left ate the second time.
The chick on the right too.
This is the frequency of feeding seems to me more habitual.

[Sappheira]

Ivo, is time for 2nd fish, please.

Maybe Ivo is older and all the bones are aching in the morning. Only in the noon he can get himself going like a Duracel bunny.

Ivo hatched 2013, so he is not old yet: He hatched and was ringed in 2013 by Joosep Tuvi, in a nest 50 km NNE in Jõgeva county

mogga: from 13.39h (13.34?) to 13.51h would be great, tx

13:34 is better. Iiris left the eggs at that time and Ivo came to the nest. That's how the whole story started...

The (17-minutes) video will be uploaded to youtube at 20:00 Estonian time (19:00 German time). Just a moment, stay tuned...

@ Owlie - I wrote Ivo is older and not that he is old. It makes a difference.

Thank you all for pictures, videos & comments

Wow Owlie .. Ivo (ED) was not quite 3 years old when he showed up at Irmas nest in 2016!!
He was just a baby himself when he became a daddy himself.

Some individuals develope fast
I remember having read that the ospreys return to their birth regions first time in 3 yrs age, from Africa in our case.

So, here is the whole story of today's early afternoon:

13:34 Iiris leaves the nest.
13:34 Ivo comes to the chicks.
13:36 Iiris joins them. They stay together with the chicks.
13:37 Iiris leaves, Ivo again alone with the chicks.
13:40 Iiris arrives at the cam stand.
13:41 Iiris back on the nest, all together again, they stay there another 10 minutes.
13:51 Ivo leaves.



(The resolution is only 640x360 (otherwise the upload would have taken forever). So don't necessarily watch it fullscreen, but maybe youtube window size or just here, forum size.)

Good evening everyone

Thanks for all reports, pictures and the video.
As i couldn't watch today i read back the happenings of today. Thanks very much.

8 hours without fish (and the fish's liquid) is really a reason to be worried, at least a bit.
Hopefully, a continuous, short-term delivery will cease as soon as possible.
The egg is now turned as i could see.

As i have noticed, there is a problem with the picture-uploader "picr.de". My pictures from yesterday are all not visible anymore.
Ice-Age, i can't see your picture either, so i think you are using the same hoster?

I try to insert two pictures i took from rewinding, from 15:02, just to see if the problem now is solved:






ok, it's not. That's a pity.

EDIT: picr.de - problem is solved now. Pictures are visible again.
