Fish claims

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

Two days ago, Lumme and Utu at nest #1.
Lumme wingers.
Utu looking around.
Hello.
Eura brings a fish, and Lumme claims it. Eve tries to grab it a couple of times, but Lumme warns mom away. This is her fish!

She gets to keep it and self-feed.
Getting ready for bed.
Utu has moved to the left during the night.
Evening wingers by Utu yesterday.

And supper.

Looking around and cuddles this morning. Utu is 6 weeks old today.

A family portrait. Eura, Lumme, Utu, Eve.



N2, N3, and N1 at nest #4, in the afternoon of N1's fledging day.

N1 returning from an evening flight. She already went on many trips around the territory during the day, including one in the afternoon where she was away for a couple of hours.
All three at home for the night.

Nemo bringing a fish today, N3 is quick to claim it.

And mantle it. Good job, little one! Or not so little anymore, all three are old enough the younger two could fledge any day, too. N1 is 8 weeks old today.
