Hailuoto - Marjaniemi 2011

[Kornelia]

for your information, dear Millan!

[Millan]

Still waiting...

[Gabrielle]

Oh yes! Still waiting for news of the nest. Enjoying the wonder of nature may perhaps ease a little the sorrow about
the human tragedy in Oslo.



I hope our osprey family had a good weekend.

We all are so sad about tragedy in Norway and other places of the world.
Let's pray...

[Gabrielle]

A big excitement at the nest. May be an intruder to chase away?



A few seconds later the chicken are taking cover from the intruder and the female very angry is preparing for defense?



The intruder seems to be fired and they are continuing with beauty care.

Some pics from this morning!

What's going on down there?

[Millan]

Last year, the oldest first flight was on 30 July 2011
in the previous year and the oldest first flight was 28.07.

How about now?

[Gabrielle]

They behave like some human chicken and stay and nestle as long as possible at the hotel called "Mama".
But it looks like they are going to check out very soon. There's a lot of motion with flapping their wings.

Oldest first flight is going...tjop-tjop!

@ Voitto Pulkkinen

[Hannele]

And soon will the next chick take the first flight! Wonderful!

[Gabrielle]

yes, wonderful!

The third chick still prefers to nestle down in the nest one more time before it dares to check out!

[Hannele]

Ok, not quite yet, but soon I'll follow the others ...

Now the youngest is flying fully sovereign to day!! Lovely!

Here is this funny moment, where it is investigated by the edge of the nest..


But there was no ladder
