Oscillating osplets

Three of the Osprey nests at Sääksilive each have a hatchling! The little ones are still very wobbly and just sway to and fro trying to keep their disproportionate head up, but there have been some bites of fish successfully caught in little beaks. But also lots of falling over and wiggling. No hatches yet at nest #4, but here are screenshots from nests #1, #3, and #5/LS. Include views of fish prey.

Eine and Eura's first chick of the season making acquantance with gravity at nest #1.

Tiuku and Tuulos with their squeaky baby at nest #3.
Sara and Roni's chick at nest #5/LS hatched in the morning, and can hold its head up a little better already. The other two hatched around noon and at 2PM, all today.
