Estonian Osprey Nest (Ivo & Iiris) 2021

[Gavril]

A few more pictures of the alien osprey that attacked Irida.
No rings are visible on them. Is this a different osprey? Not the one that attacked a few weeks ago?

I still have questions:
why is Irida again?
why other chicks sit quietly, one on a dry tree, the other on a distant one. They just flap their wings and the alien osprey flies away.

This is very strange! Why Irida?! It's hardly a coincidence. At first, I had a strange thought that it was Iris who was "raising" her daughter.... Then, when I saw that this unknown osprey was being chased by another osprey, I was ashamed of my strange thought!

Irida flew to the nest and asks for a fish.

[Sappheira]

The beauty.
Irida

[Sappheira]

11:06
Irida jumped, grabbed the branches and flew away. Fishing Exercise?

[Sappheira]

11:06
Irida returned a few seconds later, without a branch.
Then she jumped to the camera.

[Sappheira]

11:27
Inka flew to the nest looking around, the impression that she was being chased.

[Sappheira]

11:29 - 11:32
Irida flew off the camera, then came back there.

[Sappheira]

12:02 - 12:14
Irida was on the nests, then flew off to the left.

[Sappheira]

13:00
This morning, only Ingar and Irida each received a small piece of fish on the nest. There were no other visits from the parents with the fish.
(it is possible that the fish was brought before 6 o'clock in the morning, when the camra was turned off)
Only Irida asks for fish.
Are Ingar and Inka trying to catch themselves today?

[Sappheira]

13:04
This is the second time the Inka flies to the nest, as if fleeing from a pursuer. The first time was in 11:27.

[Sappheira]

13:06
Inka flew away.

[Sappheira]

13:08
Irida again flew to the nest, above the tree where two ospreys are sitting, another one is visible and she is disturbing the Irida . Perhaps this is the morning osprey? And maybe she's trying to take fish away from the chicks when they catch it?

[Sappheira]

13:08
But on the other hand, Irida has no fish with it.

[Sappheira]

13:11
Irida calmed down a bit.
There are two osprey sitting on a tree, possibly our chicks.



13:12
Irida flew over to the camera.

[Sappheira]

13:57
A bird again flies past the nest and over the nest, which disturbs our osprey. Irida sits and chirps loudly on the camera, while the other two are sitting on a dry tree.

[Sappheira]

14:14
Ivo brought a headless fish, Irida and Ingar met him at the nest.

[Sappheira]

14:14
Irida took the fish and scares the Ingar away. Ingar stumbled upon a branch, but without consequences.

[Sappheira]

14:15
Someone greatly worries Irida and Ingar.

[Sappheira]

14:16
Irida and Ingar both flew away at the same time.

[Sappheira]

14:23
Ingar flew to the nest and looks around, loudly asking for fish.
