I've just saw what happened in Finland Alma and Ossi babies today. I'm devastated and praying for protection of Ivo an Iris' babies as well as Mina and Marko. I hope the cam goes back online soon. Much love to all!
Wakeman, this was heartbreaking.

Good morning everyone!

Good Morning, Kitarr!
It is wonderful that the camera is working and our little bonbons, , are looking bigger and bigger every day.
I hope that the rainy weather calms down soon.
Bea, have you heard from, Urmas, about when the Eagle Club, will ring the chicks?
Expertatnothing, thank you for the video, from a few pages back. That was funny!

Hello everybody!
Yeah, the cam is back
But it feels a bit like a fragile luck, in case the cam restored itself again it could stop working again any moment
Cessie, I haven´t got news about WHO of the Eagle men will come to ring the osprets, neither WHEN one will come.
Last two seasons it was Ülo, when I remember right. With this currently so changable weather in Estonia I suppose that they have to make short termed decisions, with surprises for us

Thank you, Bea. Yes, I agree that we might have to be surprised.
I think that the camera cable will be fixed, when they do the rings. Fingers crossed.
Nice sunshine today.

I suppose it is Oldie, who flaps wild with her/his wings and a second I think s/he even jumped, first real wing exercise I have seen in this nest
A moment later another of the chicks made some wing exercise, too, though without jumping in the air.
I hope Kotkamen come soon and ring the chicks, soon they will be in the air Once some years ago in Latvia the ringers came 'too late' to an osprey nest and one of the chicks escaped flying - and so got no ring.

Ivo in with a headless fish, Iiris flew in at the same time.
It looks like a chick took over the fish and started self feeding Must be Oldie S/He does eat properly and eagerly

And he does it professionally like a grown-up osprey! The other two have to wait for the next delivery. One of the two decided to gnaw a stick instead. Iiris came to see whether her help is needed. Nope, they can handle fish themselves.

about 20:35
Iiris jumped down from the cam stand or flew in - it looks like another chick got a fish tail to work with - maybe Middlie? It happened very rapidly and I was on another site a while, so I am unsure about what really happened ...
20:37
Oldie is trying to take over Middlie's fish tail - and seems to succeed ...
... if it is Oldie?
Oh my, a poop shot got hit in on the cam lens! at ab 20:40
ab 20:45
Iiris jumps down from the cam stand, takes over the fish tail and arranges a feeding queue, all attend, Oldie tries to pick up morsels directly from the fish If I see correct, Oldie leaves the queue after a while and the other two siblings continue to get fed
ab 21:00
Iiris jumps up to the cam stand calling
21:04 my time
Ivo in with something to eat? Iiris jumps excited down, discusses with Oldie about who will take over the fish - Oldie won
21:06
Iiris up to the cam stand again

21:11
Oldie satisfied - I can't see if s/he left something of the fish tail --- but the crop tells s/he has eaten well.
21:14
Yes, there is something left and either Smallie or Middlie continues to work on the rests of the fish tail
