Uses for wings

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

Some pretty sunset shots from nest #1. Older chick Lumme looking up at the moment. She is 5 weeks old today.

And younger chick Utu.

Sleepy cuddles in the morning. Utu left, Lumme right.

Now the other way around.

Eve reminds us she perches on the camera overnight.

Breakfast delivery.

There's also a video of the banding for nests #1 and #3 now, with one more look at Taisto (T2).

Nuppu and the triplets at nest #4 yesterday evening. N3 is behind N1.

N1 and N2 wingers.

Breakfast is served here, too.

N1, N2, N3.

N2 nips at N3's toes.

N1 preens N2 a little.

N3 wingers.

Now you see N3...

Now you don't!

More wing workout by N2.

The Ns are approaching their 7th week, at which point osplets start being ready to fledge.
