It’s rare now to see three members of the #osprey family together. I can’t tell which is which now and whether there are still four members in the family. I also like this #capture because it catches the #sunset.

What’s going on here this morning? It looks like this crow (or is it a raven?) is on the #osprey #nest while one of the ospreys looks on from nearby. I guess that the interloper is looking for #grubs and #insects to feed on and is thereby serving to clean the nest of #parasites. I presume that’s why its presence is being tolerated.

Update: while the #nest is full of empty #Ospreys, we have an interloper sneaking about.

This may not look like the most exciting #picture in the world because it appears to show an empty #nest but the #osprey seen in the upper left corner just flew to that branch. I don’t know if it was the #chick's actual maiden flight but now both have developed the ability to fly.

The #Osprey #chicks are now juveniles and no doubt will be able to fly soon.

Wow, those two surviving #osprey #chicks are getting big. They’ve probably got a decent chance of reaching maturity, I reckon.

Mixed news from the #Osprey #Nest in #Scotland. Two #chicks are thriving and growing up fast but one died a few days ago. I could be very wrong but I when I tried to find out when the death had occured, I thought I saw that the parents were feeding the dead chick to the surviving two. If so, I had no idea they engaged in #cannibalism.

Within the last couple of hours, the last of the #ospreay #eggs has hatched and so this pair of parents has a full brood now. I don’t know what the chances of the last #chick are since it will lag behind the others by several days. I guess the first few days are the crucial ones.

The first of the three #Osprey #Eggs has hatched and you can see the #chick here along with both parents.
