Cute Myy screenshots, and news on nest #1 osplets

Osplet Myy at nest #3 of Satakunta Ospreys is growing into a strong and beautiful juvenile. She is 48 days old, and soon entering the age where she can be expected to fledge (49-55 days usually).

Here is a post in Finnish about Alma and Ossi's chicks from nest #1. (And here is the post on why they were moved, in both Finnish and English.)

To summarize in English, one of the two siblings has sadly died since then, of unknown causes (this was the one that was injured the least in the raven attack), but in happier news the other osplet has successfully fledged. The surviving fledgling is, as I've understood, the second-hatched chick A2, now known as SRS for the ID on the osplet's yellow leg band.

Ossi has been seen at his nest several times, including today accompanied by a female, so hopefully he will keep the nest despite the setbacks.

Ravens still hanging around in the area of nest #1 was also addressed. Both ospreys and ravens have nested in the area for years, and apart from this one time they have not bothered each other much, so they are not considered to be a cause for particular concern.

I'm really happy to hear of and see the photos of SRS. Despite all the tragedy one of the little ones still made it!

And now more Myy.

Wing practice yet again. Getting ready for the big day.

Tracking.

Wind-tousled headfeathers.

Looking around at the edge of the nest. She knows what she wants and it's to the sky! Also a fish.
