Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Include views of fish prey, some up close.
Wingers at nest #4 yesterday morning. First N2, then N3 and N1 simultaneously. N1 turned 7 weeks old yesterday.
N3 at closeup.
More N3 closeups this morning.
N3 and N1 in the foreground.
N1 wingers.
Now N3, again in closeup. :)
More N3 wingers. N1 rouses her feathers to shake them into their proper places after preening.
N2, who celebrates his 7-week birthday today, grabs a fishtail at a feeding and makes a quick getaway with it.
He mantles it on the other side of the nest, and eats it in peace. Good job!
At the next fish delivery, Nemo brings a still wriggling pike. N2 claims it!
Even better job!
N3 seems interested in a steal, but N2 keeps his prize. He gets some good bites out of it.
Dad spotted again!
Nuppu claims the new fish, meanwhile N2 works on his own.
Intruder to yell at before the meal can properly begin.
Eventually N2 gives up on the pike, and wanders over to where Nuppu is feeding his siblings. He did manage to self-feed some, but a whole fish is hard to get a good grip on when you're still practicing.
Nuppu feeds the pike to the chicks.
Yesterday's breakfast at nest #1. Utu on the right is now 5 weeks old.
Utu looking up.
Morning stretches by Lumme today.
I really like how their faces look from this angle, can you tell?
Utu preening tail feathers, and giving us a good look at their development.
