The first egg was laid in the nest on May 2nd, in the afternoon. For ospreys there is nothing remarkable in keeping a few days pause between the egg-layings. The second egg was laid on May 5th.

We built the Võru County osprey nest as substitute for the natural nest that collapsed in the winter of 2013 and was located about 50 m away. In spring the osprey pair at once accepted the artificial nest with the camera.

:

On Saturday unexpected visitors arrived in the ospreys’ nest. Suddenly the nest was full of bees who had decided to stop as a swarm in the home of the ospreys. The ospreys felt uncomfortable and even the food brought by Mai and Mati was almost impossible to eat.

Swarming, or the departure of a  superfluous portion of bees from the nest together with a queen, usually takes place from the beginning of June to the second half of July.

But maybe there were instead ants in the nest who likewise look for new homes?

The second osprey chick was hatched in the evening of June 5th

On the night to June 7th the most recently hatched chick probably died; the cause regrettably remains unknown.

The long incubation period is coming to an end for osprey pair Irma and Ivo: the eggs were laid on May 1, 4 and 7.

This Wednesday the first osprey chick was hatched and in the future we will surely have more to write about them.
