Estonian Osprey Nest (Marko & Miina) 2022

[sova]

The female lands and immediately flies away again, followed by an osprey....three ospreys in the sky...the third is not easy to see (camouflaged)

[sova]

15:52 - the pair land on the nest, one behind the other....looking around. The male flies away, the female behind .... and then either Marko (territory defense) or another strange osprey came.





I took the last two pictures in slow motion (0.2)....I had the feeling that it wasn't slow motion but normal speed. That osprey came flying in like a bullet (Hellem, remember Julli)

[sova]

15:53 - the male lands again, looks around and flies away in a hurry, the *attacker* following

[sova]

I don't know who it is





the male lands again

[sova]

the male looks around, sees (anticipates) the danger and flies away, the attacker misses by a hair's breadth

pursuit in the sky

...
19:48 The flying ants are very active today

[Hellem]

Good night to all!

Dear @sova, @Hellem

I captured the moment. In order not to lose it...you can see it again at any time.
In the video also a moment at a lower speed.





Edit:
It's a Osprey! I would not have expected this.
Wow ...


@sova already had the moment. Just seen.

[Polly]

And because I like them too... even back when I was more active here - the flying ants.

[Hellem]

Dear Polly , thank you very much for the videos , I also like the ants *wedding flight* and it is the only camera where it can be seen every year

Hello! Thank you all for the documentation, pictures and videos! In this picture it is clearly visible that the osprey is a hawk, albeit a fishy one.

10:27 - a strange osprey or Marko is patrolling

[sova]

11:07 - Osprey approaching, landing on nest...looks almost like Marko but has no features like Marko.

[sova]

The osprey jumps onto the cam





11:23 - he's still on cam
