This was a very quick hatch

[Cessie]

I'm so glad that I got to see the end of the hatch!!
Today is Day 36 just like last year!
Irma and Ivo had zero incubation interruptions.

17:26 Ivo brought a fish. Irma showed him the ospret but was not yet interested in the fish.
17:30 Ivo left with the fish.

17:27 ...and Ivo with a beautiful fish for Irma
Irma didn't took this fish and Ivo left with it

[Riitta]

17:27 Ivo flys in with a pretty headless fish.


But Irma prefers to cover and warm up the chick.
Ivo is waiting on the nest and leaves with the fish at 17:30.

I saw the chick move .

[Cessie]

Beautiful pictures of Ivo arriving with a fish for the Mama and Baby!
Thank you, Riitta

The chick is restless under Irma.
I'm hoping that we will get to see a feeding today.

[Riitta]

I guess, next time, when Ivo comes in with fish, Irma will feed little bobblehead with the first little morsels, Cessie.

18:04 Proud Mum.


18:12 Fish calling.
A minute later Ivo delivers the next big headless fish.

[Riitta]

18:14 Irma trys to feed a small piece of it, but little chick doesn't take it.

18:19 Irma is softly calling.
18:20 Ivo takes off - without the fish.

[Riitta]

18:56 Little chick moves its own empty eggshell.


But it doesn't want its first meal.

[Riitta]

19:17 Irma takes a nap.


But then croaking crows.
Ivo flys on the cam supply.

19:21 Just at this moment little chick sticks out its head under Irmas belly.

[Cessie]

19:20
2 birds flying furiously in the sky.
Then Ivo landed on the nest cam.

[Cessie]

19:24
Crow on the dead tree.
Please go away crows, you can return at the end of September.
