A question for you all:
Could it be the remains of the red tick?

07:08 Teo comes back with empty claws.
He picks, nestles and then stands on the edge of the nest and looks into the distance.
'13 gone or up? He takes off and the camera shakes above.

07:14 Teo comes back.
He slides into the hollow of the nest, tugs here and there and keeps looking around.
He lets the female scream. Teo doesn't seem concerned about her.

Teo seems to have moulted well during the hibernation period. He looks good.
I think even better than last year to return.

07:57 The female, now down in the nest, notices Teo's return.
He brings fish.
Teo cannot release the grip as quickly as the female is greedy.
Her harvest has fallen, she must be hungry.
I wonder why she insists on being supplied and not fishing herself?
Is it the hormones that tell her that a male will have to take care of her in the future?
Teo takes the fish back with him. The female flies up to the cam and demands more.

08:23 Teo returns with the fish.
The female continues to demand, but appears more reserved. She keeps tucking her foot in...is she tired?
Finally, Teo hands over the fish to her, leaves the nest, and the female begins to eat.

08:34 Teo and the female together in the nest.
She eats - Teo waits.
08:44 Teo thinks he's waited long enough and tries to mount the female.
No, that wasn't a good idea. The female fights him off.
Anyway, she was still eating... Teo, where are your manners ...
08:44 The female leaves the nest with the fish.

08:52 Teo back in the nest with nice feathers and wild hairdo...
...devotes himself entirely to his passion.

14:40/41 Chirping on the camera stand.
Another Osprey flies towards the nest... the camera shakes.
Teo with another overture?

15:11 Another fish lands with Teo.
Headless, not sure.
Teo stands with the fish for a while and then leaves the nest again - with the fish. He can still be seen flying around the nest.

15:44 Teo flies into the nest - with fish.
The female follows him. She approaches like a big cat and Teo leaves the fish to her.
handing over
She poops in the nest

and leaves with the fish.

15:59 Oh, hopefully just a random visitor.
A pine marten.
We also had this visit in the Latvian nest of the Goshawk. I was a little concerned that he might come back and plunder the nest. But there it was a single visit.
He plowed the whole nest there.

16:49 Teo slides into the nest.
He came from the camera stand.
The nest hollow is currently very deep. I think there is still a lot of work to be done here. Everything is still at the beginning. First of all, I'm happy to see Teo in good shape. Vita hasn't returned yet.
We will see ....

I think, Teo wants the little ones to swim first and then fly.
