Residents, visitors, and inbetween

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Includes some fighting between osplets.

Lumme and Utu at nest #1 yesterday. Utu waited for a long time for Lumme to finish eating the fish she'd claimed, and finally got it to himself when she was done.

Ulpukka would also like to have the fish, I bet.

Not this time!

Utu defends his fish, and Ulpukka flies away.

Good job, Utu! He's already gotten the tables turned again today, but it's good to see he can stand up for himself sometimes. All three osplets need their share of fish and survival experience.

Ulpukka at the nest early in the morning again. Ready to keep the siblings on their toes.

Some osprey spottings at nest #4. We've had a selection of handsome birb boys recently. Nemo in the morning mist yesterday.

And today, Neo! No, that's not a typo, though the names are similar. He's the subadult who was seen at nest #3 earlier this season, and who hatched at nest #1 two years ago. Good to see you again!

And later, TXP. Hello to you, too! If you're looking for Nuppu, I'm afraid she's probably at least halfway to Africa by now.
