A quiet day around the nest for everyone except the male Osprey who is a regular fishing machine these days. His contributions are many and frequent. |
The female arrived with a large fish which none of the nestlings showed any interest in so she flew off with it to a nearby perch to eat it on her own. | ![]() |

The male brings a large fish of his own to the nest. |
This time the fish raises a little squabble over who gets first pickings at it. | ![]() |
![]() |
The squabble is soon resolved with the male helping to smooth things over by soon showing up with another fish. |
The male usually is in the nest only a few seconds; only long enough to drop off the fish before he is on his way. | ![]() |

The male passes overhead. |
The large female nestling continues her flight training. | ![]() |
![]() |
This time, rather than going for altitude, she crosses back and forth across the nest. |
The day she actually fledges is eagerly anticipated. | ![]() |
![]() |
But it will not be today. |
She lands in the nest. Only a few test flights were made today lending to the general atmosphere of inactivity that marked the day. | ![]() |
