Ossi returns with fish for the survivors after the fatal attack: Satakunta Osprey Nest1 25 Jun 2021

25 /7/ 2021 Statement from Satakunta Osprey project about Ossi & Alma's two relocated chicks:
Many have asked about the two babies of Ossi and Alma moved to the second nest as a result of the unfortunate events on Midsummer Eve. The chicks were ringed and investigated during the move.
The inspector of the nest visited the scene and found that one of the  chicks had passed away. It was surprising that the deceased baby was the one who survived the raven attack with seemingly minor injuries. The cause of death of the baby was no longer able to be concluded at that point. The relocated chick has a yellow ring SRS, which was added during the relocation. On Thursday 22.7 SRS was photographed in flight near the nest, so this story seems to have a happy ending.
Midsummer's Eve events showed once again that anything can happen at the nests approach something you can't possibly prepare for. Hopefully Ossi will find a good partner for next year. A good sign is that Ossi has not abandoned his nest place due to setbacks, but has lived there in the last few days. And best of all, we've also seen females with Ossi on the nest. Next spring we'll see how the story continues in Ossi's nesting swamp.
The presence of ravens at Ossi's nesting swamp has also sparked discussion. However, they have been living in the same areas for a long time and they haven't been more harmful to the weather. The weathers have been nesting in that nest continuously since 2005; the first failure came only the other year as a result of a visit tby a goshawk and the second setback this year because of the raven.

This video clip: After the tragic attack this morning by a raven who killed one chick, injured a second and wounded mum Alma forcing her to the ground where she was then attacked and killed by a fox (WARNING graphic attack on Satakunta O...) it's a relief to see dad Ossi return. He flies in at 18.16 Finnish nest cam time with fish, one chick very interested, and had a few pecks when Ossi didn’t feed them. Ossi left the fish on the nest and flew off, the other chick (the injured one) started moving slightly while the first chick tucks in. The sad little body of the chick killed by the raven remains in the centre of the nest.

At 18.23 the second chick moves in and has a nibble while the first one is really going for it, seizing the food enthusiastically. Not in this clip, the livestream has now gone down, talk on the chat says the two chicks are being removed and taken for safe relocation.  The chick that was killed was the youngest chick, mods say nest 3 (Nuppu & Ahti) is not suitable for these two older chicks because of the age difference.

Statement from the Satakunta Osprey Project:

The progress of nesting became virtually impossible after Alma's death. Such small chicks cannot be flown by an Osprey male alone, i.e. fed, defended and protected from heat. Numerous experts were consulted on the follow-up and it was finally concluded that the only option for the larger chicks is in another nest.

The nest:
Nest #1 is located in the Satakunta region in Western Finland. Ospreys have nested there since 2005. The male Osprey, Ossi, has inhabited the nest since 2014. He has a ring on his right leg and according to the ringing data he hatched in Karkku, Sastamala in 2009. Alma, the female, doesn’t have a ring and therefore her age and hatching location are unknown.

Ospreys have nested at the site from 2005 through 2020. In 2019 Alma and Ossi’s nesting failed due to a Goshawk attacking the nestlings. Nevertheless, the pair returned the following year and raised three fledglings. Since 2017 Alma and Ossi raised a total of eight fledglings.

Appropriate permits have been obtained for the description of the nests from both landowners and the Southwest Finland Center for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment.
