Despite the impatience of many and the perfectly disturbing, alarmist and anxiety-provoking observations of others, Oura finally took off, in the presence of Sylva, in very normal times. He had been hovering for a long time or crossing the area which showed that there was nothing to worry about in the vicinity of his flight.
Oura doesn't come back, but Reda joins Sylva on the nest to deliver her a fish. She offers him a few mouthfuls, while obviously he would like to recover the prey ...
No more alone, parent and sibling on the low branch.

A most strange thing!
A sizeable hawk visits an osprey nest with chicks. No alarm calls from the parent. The oldest chick stands up and tries to scare it off. It flies away shortly after...
I guess it was a sparrowhawk rather than a goshawk, though it seems rather large for a sparrowhawk.

Mom with one chick, which is eating a diner fish. Someone is sitting on the lower branch- chick or Dad.
To be fed from Mom is always nice.
Edit: Just I've read, that the nest was empty in early morning from 13.July. So all three are successful fledged.
