Many flights

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4, where the oldest chick had her first flight yesterday. She's been in and out of the nest a lot today. The last few images include fish prey.

N1, N2, and N3's tail.

N1 takes flight.

N2 and N3 watching her soar.

Landing gear deployed!

Oops, runway was a bit shorter than estimated!

She's okay. Good job!

Going for another spin.

N1 flies over the nest!

Same, N3.

There she is again.

Watch out below!

And made it.

❤️❤️❤️

Maintenance break. Preen preen.

N1 borb closeup. N3 preening in the background.

And N1 is off again. Seen flying in the background on the left.

Loving the sibling reactions. :D

A much more controlled landing already!

But she doesn't stick around for long.

Another stylish landing.

Not long after, yet another flight.

Coming in for a landing...

An elegant touchdown at the edge of the nest.

N2 stretching his wings.

Hello again. :)

Bye again.

A well-aimed landing next to rather than on top of N2. 👍

N1 gets on a branch next to the nest.

She takes flight again, mostly off-screen.

She's really getting the hang of this!

More preening, then some more practice.

They're so cute.

And one more excellent landing by N1. You're doing so well!

Time for fish.

First yelling at fish thieves, then feeding.

Double wingers. Perhaps more fledges soon.
