Thank you Simoninna :wave:

These parents are great, so the procedure is over. I personally don't like it, it is very stressful for the birds.
But for scientific it is relevant.

Summary from 7.November by Goshawkeyes II:
​Fish at 7:37, 10:22, 19:31, 20:14. At 12:57-13:00 wingflap. 14:00-15:41 Banding. 14:44 Mum on top of the mast. 15:18:30 Mum fly by.15:57, 16:49 close-ups. 16:12 Dad grabs fish.l 16:26 Mum&Dad feeding.


​#1 Bazza, red band, #2 Falky, yellow band and #3 Ervie, dark green band and the tracker

Three male osprey chicks, amazing, that's not so often.
Maybe it could be a reason for the less aggression between them.
