Onni delivers fish to both females in the nest but flies by.
2nd arrival minutes later fish for 'NF', she grabbed it immediately and took off.

Onni decided whom to choose for mating & breeding. He defended Hilma's landing on the nest and perching on the outer bar, chased her out of his territory. Then the chief tried another mating with 'NF' but failed...

From Seili-YT blog:
The left ring commands the nest, this one has a brown v-shaped spot on the "back" while the one sitting on the aisle is more white
YAY, that's New Female NF which is steadily screaming for fish & Onni has decided he delivers only to his new mate!

Seili: Hilma is in the nest, Onni continues to try his 'menage a trois' - mating with Hilma without fish present and again with NF - but Hilma chases him out of the nest. It will play out anyway.:whistling: :whistling:

There is a battle going on of the nest in Paltamo, between an Osprey (who I think is Penna) and the Peregrine Falcon couple

I think this is Penna

Here you can see a falcon approaching in the air

And here comes one of the falcons - they both attacked the osprey

Earlier on Wednesday the satellite osprey Vesku visited briefly the Paltamo nest - he spent his winter surprisingly only on Corsica:

There has been discussion on the chat and many think the original Onni in Seili did not return from the migration. And that there are two unknown silver ringed males who appear in the cam view. Hilma has also vanished after having defended the nest previously. People speculate what these facts mean.

@Pennies: As long as those user who spekulate about 'Onni-Substitutes' don't post pictures in comparison to the new Onni II or III visitors I'm convinced that the current male osprey is Old Onni from last seasons 2021-2022!

For example: 1st pic 16 Mai 2021 / 2nd pic 22 April 2023

Watch that dark spot on his right wing and these remarkable row of spots on the left wing.

You may be right, it looks so in your pics. And it is true there is no possibility to post pictures on the chat in order to make comparisons.
Who ever he is, the development is a little slow this year, we shall see, if there will be a couple and offspring ...
