Hello osprey fans!

Month of July has just started, osprets are growing and growing and we can witness a happy season until now - let´s hope it will stay like that!

Of course ringing day comes closer, but I still have no news about a certain day and about WHO will climb the nest. Usually I get a note when one can foresay that ringing will take place as a planned event, but it might also happen as a short termed decision, between or after other tasks, when there is a time buffer or leftover time ... we´ll see.

I promise to post it here as soon as I get to know any detail about it

Stay tuned!

[sova]

thanks Bea

17:31 Marko and a BIG fish (4) landed

[sova]

17:31 - Marko with big fish (4) .... now the party can begin

Miina took the fish

17:32 - Marko flew away

[sova]

at the moment only one eats and screams




one is still eating and squeaking and squeaking

17:47 - now the second wants something from the fish

[sova]

17:49 - the first one has enough, now the second one eats .... the third one hasn't tried anything yet

17:50 - now he is closer to the table, hopefully it has enough of the fish

17:57 - Marko is there


it is stormy at the moment


18:00 - Marko flew away

[mogga]

17:49 .... the third one hasn't tried anything yet

That reminds me of Jaak at the kalakotkas2 nest in 2018.

"Yes, eating is a fine thing. But wing exercises and exploring the nest is better!"
