Latvian Osprey nest 2019-2023

[san b]

Thank you so much to everyone for posting updates. I have watched Teo since 2017. This year I have not been watching the nest regularly because of the goshawk. I do continue to read this forum for updates, so I appreciate everyone's posts

Today at 10.32 Vita dropped the thick branch almost on the new hatched chick.

Handbyl, thank you for the good news!
This is a first time with 2 chicks, for Vita!

I forgot to thank, Polly, for her pictures and story about the intruder, yesterday. Thanks, Polly!

san b, welcome to the forum!
We have great hope for a successful season this year.

asteria!

Balistar, good thoughts and prayers, for a good health report, and that you feel better soon.

[Polly]

Yes, she is a little euphoric.

Vita often seems a bit rushed.



Here the moment when Vita gets up from the newly hatched chick to the point that she returns to the nest after Teo calls out the alarm.
In '36 Teo can be seen landing in the parents' tree.




Thank you all!

[Cessie]

Polly, thanks for the video. The video also shows the big stick that hit the newborn chick, that asteria,discribed earlier. Oh boy!
I hope that the intruder will just go away.

JUNE 2nd

Good Morning!

06:28 There is still an egg...
2 beaks are begging breakfast

[balistar]

4.36 chicks alone at home




4.37 Vita back from a flyabout, landing on the cam stand
"hello Mom, where have you been ? we are hungry

[balistar]

4.38 Vita took a stored fish - breakfast
- for one ...



4.39 - ... and for the other one



5.14 beautiful Vita at sunrise, still fish in her claws
- one little is sleeping, one looking at Mom "i could eat some more"

[balistar]

5.14 there you go ...



5.54 and now the other one, too



6.26 Vita is eating the remnant, one chick is sleeping, the other is looking at us

[balistar]

6.27 little one wanted some more



Vita takes some bites and shares another bite with the chick



6.28 both chicks amazed watch Vita swallowing the fishtail

[balistar]

6.42 chicks again alone, confidently sleeping, warming the egg in the middle



8.20 Vita's crop needs to be filled



8.25 and -as called- the hero Teo brought a "whale" for his Vita and his chicks

[balistar]

the very hungry Vita first ate some bites and Teo flew off to the observation tree

8.29 "come to the table, chicks"



8.30 and Vita feeds big chunks, first to the one



8.32 then to the other




both ate well

[Polly]

14:58 Two pretty chicks ...


15:20 Search game. No fun in this nest.
Vita, half a fish, a chicken and the second hardly to be discovered.

[Polly]

16:12 ... Teo in with a stick ....



.... out with fish.




Business like at the weekly market but before the fish stinks - away with it.

June 3rd
Good morning, Osprey Fans
The sky is gorgeous this early morning!

5:50am. Teo brought in a large headless fish!
Vita, is feeding the chicks. I have to say that Vita, is getting better and better, feeding her babies. Most of the bites of fish are swallowed and not fallen onto the nest.

Good morning to everybody

2:49-2:50 Tonight Vita was attacked several times. One of those attacks was at this time

[Polly]

Hello everybody

Thanks for all of your posts and timestamps I was late from work.

2:49-2:50 Tonight Vita was attacked several times. One of those attacks was at this time 

I pushed the time regulator completely to the left and cashed in the video right away ... I don't have an overview myself yet. I will later look again. It's a shame the attacks started earlier. It must have been before '43.

Well, what else could I catch ...



What could it have been?
I never heard an eagle owl, only tawny owl a long time ago. Are these ospreys attacking?
Goshawk is not nocturnal. Not that I know of.
Another osprey? Ospreys also fly at night. But rather a weak option, right?

[Polly]

04:34 Vita ... everything's okay with her. Teo is sitting over in the parents' tree.
