Half a big fish for Iiris. M1 covered the eggs.

The intruder attacked Iiris and M1's nest again.
The intruder fell like a stone onto the nest, incredibly...



Iris immediately returned to the nest. Her right wing was hurt, we'll see later if she's okay.

Two to three hours after attacking the nest, Iiris covers the eggs without flying out even once. She has no visible injuries, let's hope for the best. During this time, no males were visible in the nest area.

An osprey flies over the nest. Iiris meets him like this.

[Sappheira]

10:27
It's hard to say who. The pattern under the wing is similar to M1.
Iiris reacted to him this way this morning too...
He flew over the forest. He sat on a large tree and then flew away.

[Sappheira]

10:35
When the osprey flew from the tree, Iiris flew after it, without any alarm signals, and returned 4 minutes later.
