Photogenic nest visits and intense fish deliveries at Satakunta ospreys nest #3. As that may imply, includes again screenshots showing fishes at various degrees of dead.

Ahti brings a big, headless fish for his fledgling Myy.

Myy rushes to claim the fish, and in her enthusiasm grabs on to...

...dad's toe!

The fish is right there, but food guarding instinct says hold on to what you've caught like there's a sibling trying to steal it.

Ahti just waits for her to be done.

Oh, there's the food!

Myy starts her feast, and Ahti makes a quick getaway.

Myy closeups. She's so cute! A terror, but cute.

A fish relinquishment easier on the toes this time. Beautiful mantling by Myy.

Ahti brings her a whole pike for breakfast the next day.

After starting to pick it apart at the nest for a few minutes, Myy flies away with her pike. Good that she's getting the hang of eating in a tree.

Windy feathers yesterday.

An impending fish delivery.

And... it's another toe bite.

Foot freed, check. Fish noticed, check.

Time to fly!

He's fine, though. Juveniles biting their parents' feet during food deliveries is pretty common at raptor nests, and they have sturdy toes.

Cleaning service drops by in the afternoon while the residents are away. A Great grey shrike (Lanius excubitor) checks the nest for leftovers.
