Birdfriend, thank you
the two older ones are practicing a showdown in front of the parents - so far everything is harmless
the little one keeps well away from it (yet)

Today Dad brought four fish !
The chicks' crops were bulging, and also Mum had her good share
there is still a big fishtail in the nest
chick #1 and chick #2 will get few more bites, little #3 is sleeping, stuffed
#1 and #2 at this stage look like they have foam caps on their heads

Ages: #1: 12 days, #2: 11 days, #3: 8 days
#1 and #2 already with dark head, #3 still "downy"
today Dad brought only 1 fish, but they still had a big fishtail left in the morning for breakfast
this was a wonderful feeding, so peacefully,
Mum fed the whole fish alternately to the chicks,
she ate the fishtail, those crops were filled to the brim

Thank you, balistar, for reporting and pics.
The poor fish from 15:15 was very floppy and still alive.
The chicks got some heavy flaps from his tailfin...fish fighted for his life, but is the food source from ospreys.

seira, Birdfriend, thank you
Birdfriend, i'm so happy about those peaceful feedings.
Oh, yes, this morning's delivery was very early, i assume Dad was hungry,
yesterday evening he came to collect the rest of the fish but there was nothing left for him,
the chicks and Mum had eaten it all
6.18 Dad flying in with the breakfish

2022.10.01 - 13,12 & 9 days old - A beautiful day in Port Lincoln so the chicks are enjoying a little sunshine.
07:55 wings
little one, is your neck okay?

2022.10.01 - For all of those people worried about the size and welfare of No3 - check out who the instigator of most of the bonking is. My guess it she is a female and will do just fine.

2022.10.01 - All 3 have very full crops at the end of this mornings feed.

Sorry, a bit late, but have had no time to post earlier.
Yesterday, I saw a very friendly morning feeding. Dad brought fish at 7:59. Lil bob was placed in the middle of the trio. All got fair shares from this fish.
balistar, seira
Good morning, dear osprey family!
7:10-7:15 Morning fight between 1 and 2, not nice too see, although I've it already often observed.
Later lil bit gets also "his share".
Maybe they are very hungry meanwhile.

2022.10.02 - Mum must have told Dad how good it was in the water and so he also went for a swim.

2022.10.02 - Nothing better than a quick swim and then dry off in the warm sunshine. Mum taking time out today.

2022.10.02 - 3 hungry mouths to feed - life is looking good for all 3.

2022.10.02 - Our Osprey are in need of some more nests. This nest was built on an old windmill tower on Boston Island by @Hugh Davis and it looks like it may have an interested tenant.
