Myy on a rainy breakfast wait this morning at Satakunta ospreys nest #3.
Post includes screenshots of fish prey.

A Myy visit the next day.
And some sightings of both of them at the same time. Myy gets a fish and mantles it.
Another fish delivery, and a closeup of Myy with her meal.
Speaking of Myy closeups, she still likes perching right next to the camera.
Borb.
Ahti bringing her a big fish.
Myy on the defensive, and Ahti seems cautious, too. It's not each other they're watching.
Myy tries to eat after Ahti leaves, but doesn't seem to feel safe to do so in the nest. She takes off with the fish, but soon comes back.
She takes off with the fish again, but drops it to the ground near the nest tree.
The intruder dives to the fish past the nest, and the reason for the extra caution becomes clear: it's a White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla)! Fortunately it's just the fish it wants.
Ahti dives at the eagle, and it flies away.
Myy back at the nest the next morning (yesterday), for another rainy breakfast wait like today's.
