Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Include views of fish prey.
N3, N1, and N2 at nest #4 this morning. It's rainy and they haven't had breakfast yet, so the chicks are pretty short-tempered at the moment. N3 (who is four weeks old today) didn't get much anything at supper last night, and is particularly snappish at the older siblings.
But N1 (back) is still biggest and strongest, and doesn't put up with it for long. N2 (right) seems calmer, and just gets bonked from both directions.
Waiting for fish and mombrella.
Nuppu arrives to brood them, and Nemo brings a fish. N3, N1, N2 l-r.
Still rainy, but head against mom's brood patch and some fish in the crop makes for a much cozier time, and snuggling close to siblings much more palatable. News is the nest #4 chicks are going to be banded soon, possibly tomorrow.
At nest #1, the chicks are about two and a half weeks old. E2 left, E1 right, yesterday afternoon.
Under sibling's wing.
Breakfast this morning, rainy here, too. E1 left, E2 right.
Taika and little T2 at nest #3. Big yawn or crop drop yesterday.
And this morning's rain. Taika kept the chick under her most of the time, I just snapped this when T2 turned around and showed its face for a moment.
Breakfast fish. T2 is getting so big! Also a peek at pinfeathers on the wing.
Shimmy back to brooding.
