Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Include views of fish prey, natch.
Eve feeding E1 (left) and E2 at nest #1. E1 is starting to change into second down plumage, and is a little darker and greyer already. E2 is a week old today, E1 two days older than that.Taika and T2 at nest #3. The little one turned a week old yesterday.
After lunch T2's crop is so full the chick turns away from the feeding and Taika gets the rest of the fish to herself.
Well, maybe still a bite or two.
Nuppu brooding her chicks at nest #4 yesterday morning. Not sure which one that is peeking out for a crop drop.
N2, N1, and N3 waking up for supper.
The fish tail-slaps N1 one too many times, and N1 takes it out on N2, who had a better spot at the feeding anyway. N3 stays out of it and lies down flat pre-emptively.
After things calm down (and the fish stops slapping), all three eat side by side again. N2, N3, N1 from farthest to nearest.
