Estonian Osprey Nest (Ivo & Iiris) 2019

[Kiser]

Hello to all Osprey fans :) There was a long registration process, so I could not provide information before.
The first flight of the UP took place at 6:44
UM flew at 6:34, 10 minutes later UP made his first exit from the nest
I do not know how to insert a photo, but I will learn

Good morning

Wow, finally the next of our osprets made her maiden flight - and a perfect first landing back on the nest, too!
Her sibling UN follows her with her eyes, looks a bit flabbergasted about the new doings of her sibling

06:44


Thanks to all for your reports!

Thanks for the video Bea!

[Summi]

Bea, thanks a lot for the video.
It's great to see how UP flapped her wings vigorously to get the feeling that her wings carry, then concentrated for a moment and off she went!

[Kiser]

My thanks to all for the warm welcome, I have been reading the forum for a long time and decided to register for the message pleasant news about UP
Thanks for the help in posting a screenshot of the first flight.

UN at 9:02 am dancing so funny, shaking her head like a girl in an Indian film.
I rewound the broadcast several times to see it again and again.

[Jojo]

Thank You all for the reporting of UP ´s first flight.
and to Kiser for the heads up about the "Indian Dancing"

[ExpertOfNothing]

I have long wanted to see what happens if I make an analogue of timelapse video from the nest.
I can not say that I liked the result, but if someone wants to see, here is the video July 27, 2019 04:00-10:00 with acceleration 12 times.

thanks for the updates and video of the first flight! my favorite thing is to start the day with a cup of coffee and to check in on our little feathered babies

[balistar]

Hooray - UP has fledged today

Since i have missed it live, many many thanks to everyone for this highlight news in words, pictures, videos etc. - and a welcome to the new members

Thanks also to Sunshine for the "pictures of the day" from tonight

I wish our lovable, calm UN that she will feel safety enough to follow her siblings soon and does not have to stay behind for long, alone on the nest.
Go go go, UN, you have the strength



13:45 UN alone in nest, dozing a little, while her siblings explore the home area out of nest

But at 04:26 UP was already up and ready for the big day!



At 04:28 UP made her first big jump

At 04:29 there was an incredibly powerful, long, synchronised wing exercising of both girls, facing the setting sun! Perhaps worth to make a video..

Iiris brought a half - fish together with a few branches..

05:51
