RUTLAND OSPREY PROJECT 2015

33 arrives

Hardly any fish left 33 has flown

Fish all gone Maya tidies up

33 has just brought in another fish, head intact!

33 has now flown off with it and no doubt will be back soon once he has deheaded it

Missed 33 bringing the fish back.  Maya is now feeding #1 and #2 and #3 has its head down

Interesting as this is what happened at the earlier feed (couldn't post but watched).  33 delivered a fish at 14:47 and #1 and #2 ate but #3  had its head down.  #3 did get up but stayed back and didn't join the line.  Once #2 was full and lay down,  then #3 ate.   But #3 got plenty and had a full crop.  And there was seconds later where everything was fine.  

Just wondering if #2 is showing any aggression towards #3 ???? 

16:59   #3 being fed now and getting plenty

New blog 1J(13) back

Thanks VC, just reading about it just now  .. fantastic news about 1J

33 returns the fish and Maya feeds the chicks again.  Once more, #1 and #2 are being fed and #3 remains sleeping!!    No aggression from its siblings but this is not like #3, it is usually up for its fish first :-)

#3 did get up but didn't bother pushing its way through  .. really did not appear hungry, more sleepy and lay down again.

Feed over and Maya covers the chicks.
