Fish strikes back!

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. As the title already implies, post contains views of fish prey.

Nuppu and her triplets. I think that's N3 looking up.

Hat tricks, sunset mist, and meal moments

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests, warning for views of dead fish again. The third chick hatched today at nest #4!

First two pretty snapshots from last night at nest #3, with the resident female Taika incubating her eggs as mist engulfs the swamp around the nest tree at sunset. It's been another hot day.

Then to nest #4, where the chicks' dad Nemo finally makes an appearance in a screenshot, though he has been keeping the nest well supplied with fish. Nemo is on the left, mom Nuppu feeding the chicks. Nuppu has a metal band (🎶🎸) on her right leg, Nemo is not banded.

Double event

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. The second chick hatched yesterday evening. Warning for bloody and headless fish.

Brunch for both.

Head's staying up a little easier already

More screenshots of the newly hatched chick at Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. Mom Nuppu with baby.

Osplet event

The first chick of the season has hatched at the Sääksilive Osprey nests today! Here's the little one's first feeding.

And first falling on its back. Also an important milestone.

The osplet's parents are Nuppu (mom appearing in screenshots) and Nemo at nest #4, the same pair who nested there last year, and there are still two more eggs to incubate. Nests #1 and #3 are also occupied this year and are starting to be ready for their clutches to hatch, too. Nest #5/LS did have two eggs, but they didn't make it to hatching, so no chicks there this year, and nest #2 is empty.

Things to say and see

Shake necks to greet the new sauropod in the enclosure.

Extreme Off-road Experience, now at Jurassic World! (I spotted them like this while checking on a feeder, I'm guessing the Brachiosaurus kicked them into the pond while walking across their tour path.)

She scream!

Pih ja La

Starting to bloom.
