Good night all

The 1st ospret - rings: A16384, UH, wing 325 mm, weight 1,454 kg
The 2nd ospret - rings: A16385, UJ , wing 314 mm, weight 1,555 kg
Urmas didn't say anything about sex of the osprets, but I think UJ is girl and UH boy

It's always difficult to say, but UH is a bit further in the development and more agile as UJ. But mostly I can only observe in the evening.
UJ seems a bit bigger than UH.

I must honestly say that I've already thought about it.
I am unfounded .... sometimes I think that UH is much more robust, intrepid .... in the next moment he seems like a mimosa to me.
Sometimes I have the feeling that UJ is much naughty. But then again much quieter ....
I do not dare to choose the sexes. I'm too insecure.

.....
UH even managed to bite dad in the head. UH is very determined! Could he be a young male?

...
By the way I have a version that both Chicks are boys.

...Gavril may be both are girls

I think UH definitely

Boys or girls I don't care. They are beautiful and funny for sure.

Just collected all your opinions about the genders of our osprets, for finally starting suggestions for names ..... but I must say that it was not as helpful as I hoped for

[Birdfriend]

Oh, Bea...sorry

20:03 Still


20:07 Suddenly awake...


Marko...

[Birdfriend]

20:09 Marko left the nest. Miina took the first bites from the headless fish.


21:05 UH is in action the next minutes.

[Birdfriend]

21:07 Beautiful wings...


21:35 Amazing sunset after the rainy days...


Good night to all.
