Awful! Miina and Marko did so very well protecting them, but it only took 1 second, literally.Birdfriend wrote: July 18th, 2019, 4:10 pm Oh no, no, no I've so hoped too...
I know meanwhile, that chicks are never to big for the goshawk. In a polish nest two chicks are killed and mostThe third chick there was already fledged, but the goshawk killed him also nearby from his nest. The female is missed...it's so terrible for our beloved ospreys in this season.
I fear, that he/she come back again, he/she know one chick is still there.

Yes, she did, and both were as flat on the floor as can be and it did not make any difference

Is it possible that someone who lives near, go look.
Maybe the UH is not dead. Maybe he could hide somewhere ...

Oh nooooo! I just got a notice of Bea's video and saw it happen
I am so sorry for all who loved them. The Goshawk will probably be back :(

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Most likely a hawk killed him already in the nest or immediately on the ground..sova wrote: July 18th, 2019, 4:33 pm Is it possible that someone who lives near, go look.

Hawks are very fast and strong birds. No wonder they are used as hunters.

Don't be sad about it, Sova. You could not have known, no one could know.

Sova, don't blame yourself, it's terrible but it's nature. I send you my hugs.

UJ is still in a shock... hasn't moved a mm since the attack. And I'm also afraid the goshawk will come back.

I don't think UH could have been killed in the nest -- there wasn't time for that. Anyone who saw what happened in the Finnish nest will know (unfortunately) that it takes some time to kill an ospret of this size. Here the goshawk just grabbed UH by the head and dragged it over the side of the nest. So everything really depends (or: depended) on whether the goshawk was able to carry the ospret or not.Gavril wrote: July 18th, 2019, 4:39 pm Most likely a hawk killed him already in the nest or immediately on the ground..
It's worth mentioning a very similar attack that was seen about 10 days ago on the Booted Eagle nestcam from Catalonia. There, too, an unfledged eaglet was dragged over the back rail of the nest by a goshawk. The next day some national park workers found the eaglet on the ground below, injured but still alive. The eaglet is now in rehabilitation.

Sova, it was not your joke that took UH from the nest, it was the Goshawk.
Don´t make yourself feel bad for that joke.

Will anybody go and take a look, if UH may be at the ground? . .
