Bird Watching: Raising Aussie Osprey #9, 1 by MargaretK

Dad is still providing her with fish. I don't know about this one, but assume he provided it, as the head has been removed. Aussie isn't quite as neat, or restrained with a whole fish.

After I'd left the other evening, my fellow observer saw Aussie plunge from the nest and flew over to the tree where Dad hangs out and could be heard nagging someone. This turned out to be Dad and they both arrived back at the nest, Aussie leading the way, squealing and alighting on the nest first. Dad landed on the nest straight afterwards with the remains of a fish. He seemed cautious before landing, looking around him, almost as if to see that Mum Osprey wasn't around. He was at the nest less than 10 seconds before departing. He likens Aussie to the spoilt daughter who is the apple of Dad's eye and gets whatever she wants.

Here she's communicating with someone, presumably Dad, in a tree nearby.

I'll continue to give updates, but unless there's something significant happening, there's no need for it to be on a daily basis.
