Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. One glimpse of fish prey in the second to last image.

Lumme (left) and Utu at nest #1 yesterday evening.

Excellent time for wing workout.

Such broad wings you have!

This morning. Lumme sitting up, Utu lying down.

And the wingers recommence.

A stumble.

But don't let that slow you down.

At nest #3, Tuulos visiting to bring and place a new stick. He and Taika are still around, even without a chick to raise, looking after the nest and defending the territory.

The Sääksilive site also has a new informative blog post (in Finnish) about the bandings, and this season so far in general.

N3, N2, and N1 waiting for Nuppu to wrangle the fish Nemo brought at nest #4.

Wing stretches by N1 this morning, N2 scritching and N3 loafing. The camera is a bit blurry again, and again it's due to N2's great aim. :)
