Hello ospreyholics!

Nice to read about recent developments. I see UP made its maiden flight today...

At 04:29 (especially at 04:29!)there was an incredibly powerful, long, synchronised wing exercising of both girls, facing the setting sun! Perhaps worth to make a video..

The girls were really hard-working this morning.

15:59 UM is finally full, he leaves the fish and is cleaning his beak
16:00 UM was helicoptering for a long time and then flew away
16:01 UP took the huge fish and began eating

^15:15 a monster fish! UM claims it for himself

Helga, thank you for mentioning this !!

Even if i again disturb the chronology, the fish is worth to put in a few pictures of it:

15:15 Iiris flew in shortly before, when this giant fish flew in carried in Ivo's claws


Iiris early saw him coming with this fish, therefore she hurried to the nest


really a GIANT fish Ivo, you are a specialist

[balistar]

Iiris and UM go for the monstrous fish


but UM claimed it


dragged it aside and mantled - Ivo floated away and UN stood at the rails, astonished

[mogga]

Thanks, Summi

Here is a second video of the little alarm episode Hellem reported on.

16:28 Alarm! Ivo landed, is protecting the nest, UP and UN lied flat
16:29 Ivo left

(Now the chronological order is finally completely gone. Never mind, you'll find your way around... )

[Helga]

18:45 Huge monster fish still lies in the nest, don't they like it?
