Täällä pesällä on hiljaista, mutta jotain liikettä kuitenkin. Korpit huutelee ja joku sääksikin varoitushuutoja antoi.
Kova ole vauhti ja kuvaan oli vaikea saada jäämään.

Ihana sääksiperhe onnea matkallenne
I think too that Lauma has started her migration. She hasn't been seen for two days now.
If we don't see her the next day we can be fairly sure she left. Same for Snips btw.
The weather in Latvia the last days was favourable for migration southwards, with a pretty strong wind blowing from the north-west.
At least both Snaps and Snurre were on the nest yesterday, but no Perkons, although another osprey was reported to circle around the nest when both Snaps and Snurre were on the nest yesterday.
As said before, it is not uncommon that chicks get their fish delivered on nearby trees and perches, instead of on the nest, at this stage.
Anyway, time has come for us watchers to prepare to say farewell to this special osprey family and wish them all a safe journey to Africa, and a safe return next spring.
Godspeed to Perkons, Lauma, Snips, Snaps & Snurre
