Ohhh! So it was Teo, with the fish tail
I was hoping that it was the new female.

Cessie, good morning

you may recognize if you watch his left eye, there is a remarkable horizontal stroke on 3:oo
(please watch the picture below 06:33:02)

06:28 Teo flies in with a thick stick and starts nestwork


he is looking around, 06:42 he flies off


06:47 back with a bunch of hay

06:47 Teo chirps, looks around and has an empty crop


06:54 flies off


08:14 returned and brought a complicated branch with nice cones - decoration ?

08:17 Teo digging vigorously in the nest bowl




hay all over his back

08:20 someone is flying above


there is someone flying (upper right corner)


Teo is looking in this direction (i think it was not the female)

08:22 Teo's crop is empty


08:23 flies off, time for breakfast ?


08:29 no, first brings another stick

08:29 places it


08:30 preens a bit


08:30 and flies off, now breakfast ?

11:11 Teo back with a big half eaten fish


11:12 waits a moment and looks around


11:12 flies off with his fish

11:12 fly off to the right with fish

12:03 Teo returned to nest with the half eaten fish


not found the Lady ?


takes off again with his fish


Unfortunately it doesn't look like the female comes back :(
I feel sooo sorry for Teo

He gave it all, showed her how diligent, hard-working he is and how well he can feed and care for a family. But the female most likely was not interested in that all, only in the fish on her stop-over, maybe she was on her way to her home nest.

Poor Teo.
So hardworking. So attentive ....So lonely.

Hello, dear friends! Thanks for the reports and pictures, balistar! But as it's a shame, that female just rested and flew further. She must have a partner waiting for her somewhere. It seems that Teo in the new season will remain childless! 13:35. Teo in the nest with a piece of fish. He's lonely...

14:14. Teo is here again with a piece of fish. Well as so! Where young ospreys, ready to to gain beautiful a fisherman-husband!?

Gavril, Jojo

13:20/13:21 he was calling and sooo intensly looking up in the sky above him







Yes, Gavril, it seems so, this wonderful good fellow might stay lonely and childless this season. If i only could, i would send him a beautiful, willingly female.
There are so many diligent and reliable husbands who are waiting endlessly (and maybe in vain) for their mate this season (Bubo, Kaupo....). It's such a pity.

15:12 At last Teo ate this fish himself, he swallowed the last piece, poor Teo

Gavril, balistar , thank you

The only song I hear in my ears... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_P-v1BVQn8

Poor Teo !! Hope there's still some luck....

14:37 Teo took off with his big half eaten fish
14:40 returned with the fish

14:44 waiting..... (this stump is exposed again and also an extension of it)


15:01 started to eat it himself


15:12 swallowed the fishtail


Teo continued with nestworking, moved branches, bite a few times on this exposed stump, dug in the nest bowl, waited.

15:24 Teo called and flew off to the left
15:24:56 one could see him (Teo ?) soaring the sky
15:25 someone (Teo ?) landed on the cam stand

And Irma's not coming back.....how sad! 15:22. Teo peers at the horizon. It is now and again corrects the nest, removes sticks and corrects the bowl. How hard life is for migrating birds. 15:24. Teo saw something and flew off to patrol the nest site.







Hellem! Jojo!

In 2013, Piret returned on April 26. In Latvian nests, it seems to me, couples returned a little earlier than in Estonian. Unlike Teo, I lost hope.

Hellem, Abigyl

15:35 Teo back to nest with some dark fluff


15:37 Teo flies off


15:41 it started raining, Teo in with a bunch of hay and continues nestwork
