Nemo is 19 years old this year according to post from Millan in July last year. "Female in a series of numbers is now full size, therefore the M-34 753. Thus, Nemo is 18 (now 19) years old and was born Urjala. Rangastoimiston confirmation is expected."

Ringing is tomorrow after noon. Time becomes more precise tomorrow. Matts comes in the morning from Vasa, where he is just ringing.

Greetings from Voitto Pulkkinen, the connection problem is due to thunderstorms, the operator is handling it. Let's hope that will open!

Matts Finnlund and Voitto Pulkkinen are just on the way to nest. And of course, we have privilege to see pictures of ringing later.

Hi, great pictures from ringing send by Voitto Pulkkinen now on the Finnish page, please come take a look there.

Are these two chicks able to eat the fish that the male brings to the nest. Is he feeding them?
So worried that they will not survive without the female to care for them.

Hi Ospreyaholic Yes the young ones do know how to tear the fish but the male also feeds them time to time.
