Estonian Osprey Nest Mai & Mati 2016

It is the fifth year now that we can observe all what happens on this nest.

Inhabitants of this nest in 2015 were Mai (ringed, 29, on left ankle, metal ring on right ankle) and Mikk (unringed), they were supposed to be first-time-breeders then.
Mai was ringed by Joosep Tuvi in 2012, in a nest 70 km northwards (Emajõe-Suursoo) in a clutch of three Osprets.
Three eggs were laid, two eggs hatched and two osprets with rings CA (Carla) and CC (Cecilia) fledged.

Nest is located in South Estonia, Võrumaa
A fish farm, as well as a river, is not far, so good hunting conditions for Ospreys.
