maybe I should take a nap right now. I wait for the whole morning since 2am...

8:39

9.09 Irma ate some of the fish, the egg keeps talking... Not sure which one.

9:42. Sleepy Irma . Ilmar on the old tree. Watches .


From pontu 9:40.

9:50. Someone's flying over the nest. Osprey?

Thank you all for the updates and stunning pics. Irma on nest and appears very calm, which makes me think that a hatching is not about to happen just yet.
All the hatchlings that I have observed, the female is usually very fidgety and is constantly checking the eggs and rolling them. Of course Irma may have her own way of doing it. Only time will tell.

11:46 Change

11:49 third osprey!

11.48 Oh my, Ilmar made a fish delivery and 3rd Osprey followed to the nest again. (And tried to land there twice).

Another Osprey trying to land on nest, I think it Osprey but only saw the wings to left of the nest. Llmar has chased it off. Poor Irma distressed and is protecting eggs

12:07 Change, Ilmar back in the nest

12.07 Irma leaves with the fish.

12.07 Ilmar arrives.

Maybe the fish Ilmar caught was attracting the Strangers attemption .... perhaps the Osprey thought it could be an "easy to have - fish"

Llmar was turning eggs just now and I heard a chirping from one of the eggs.

12.19 Irma flew back with the fish.

12.21 Ilmar.

12.23 Irma leaves again with the fish.
