The delivery from 16:04

17:10
Irma with a fresh Carp on the nest







Kids are not interested in food, Irma is eating alone

17:12 Irma? is on the nest with a flapping fish.
17:15 Irma is feeding the osprets.

Oh, I thought it was Joosep. Has Irma delivers the fish, Bea?

I am just checking, it looks as if she came in with this fish. But I still have to wait until the video patch is processed, to see what was going on before. Maybe it was a re-delivery .. I haven´t watched the time before and have no own recordings.

18:07
Joosep with fresh fish for the nest. Two ospret want to be fed, third one stays sleeping on the rim

20:36 Irma is feeding the osprets. 20:48 It's a big fish, Irma is feeding the oldest one, the others are sleeping.

20:50 Osprets are full. Self-feeding of Irma.

20:52 Joosep visits briefly his family.


20:55 Irma takes off.

22:00 The full crops= deep and good sleeping.

Good morning
11.18 - three osprets alone at home, it seems to be rather hot

11.36 - Irma feeding herself, hungry chick chirping loudly

11:39 Irma is feeding. Only the middle chick shows hungry and eats. 11:45 The middle chick leaves the table.
11:46 Irma is feeding the other both.

The delivery was at 11:24 (pontu). Most likely Irma broughts the fish, Joosep was not to see.

13:18 Joosep delivers a pretty sized headless fish.


13:19 He takes off.


Irma begins with the feeding. One of them isn't interested.

13.18 Joosep lands with a big fish for his family. Irma starts feeding immediately.

13:21 Here is the fish visible!

13:27 This chick isn't full. It goes back to the table.


13:34 Now Irma gets her share of the meal.


13:38 One ospret shows Mom, that it isn't full!


Therefore Irma is feeding her chick with several morsels till there is nothing left.

Meanwhile one of the other chicks does wing exercises.

13:43 The meal is finished.
13:48 Irma takes off.

Finally there was time to find out more about yesterday´s 05/07/2015 -17:07-delivery and it looks as if it was the first fish delivery of Irma since the chicks hatched.

Irma left the nest at 16:44, Joosep stays on the dead tree


16:57 - Joosep leaves dead tree


17:07 - Irma lands on the nest with fresh fish in her talons


No landing of Joosep on the nest before, so we can assume that it was Irma who caught the fish.
There is still a theoretical possibility that it was somewhere a hand-over from Joosep to Irma, but as we can see only what happens on the nest ... last year we saw Irma on July, 12, for the first time delivering a fish to the nest.

Last year only two chicks had to be fed, so maybe she starts earlier as there are three beaks this season ...?

About this delivery I still don´t know whether it was Irma or not. Pontu pics are taken every minute and catch only one moment within this 60 seconds, a lot else can happen in a minute :)
The appropriate video will be ready only in the evening, unfortunately the delivery is in the beginning of this 4-hour-patch, so it will last until it can be downloaded, sighted, cut, transformed and posted.

Thank you, Bea Then tomorrow we know more about the delivery from 11:24.

14:43 Joosep on the the nest - waiting. It looks like a piece of fish in his talons.


Irma is landing.
