Osplets big and small

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Include views of fish prey.

At nest #3, T2 bites Taika's talons. :)

Fish, please! Fish, please!

Tuulos arrives with lunch.

Fish acquired! This is Taika's first nesting season, but it's Tuulos' third.
She has a band on her right leg, and he has one on his left.

Feeding attempt...

Success!

More.

No, missed.

There we go.

Good job, both of you!

Eve and E1 at nest #1. Little one has a down feather stuck on its beak.

And breakfast.

Nuppu brooding her three chicks at nest #4.

All three have now grown their second down plumage, and stopped looking like big hatchlings. N1 is two weeks old today.

Chick pile camoflaged in the shade.

N3 says :V
The youngest still has dark eyes, while the older two's have gotten lighter.

Lined up for feeding. Mealtimes have been pretty peaceful, even if the chicks have the occasional squabble inbetween. All are getting their crops full, which is the important thing, and looks like N3 is holding its own very well despite having an extra day of age difference.

Another peek at those lightened eyes. Not sure whether this is N1 or N2, they look very alike at this point.

And a look at N3's face. Dark like a big chick's now.

Feeding, N3 getting a bite at the moment.

Mombrella.
