Lee, this is the first time I've watched Ospreys. My observations have been that they are incredibly placid natured birds - just look how tolerant they have been of the attacks by the Willie Wagtails. You're very perspicacious, Lee. It saddens me greatly to see a beautiful raptor resorting to squabbling with her (still young) offspring for food. Hunger is a powerful master.
