An intense afternoon at the osprey nest.
The siblings are getting pretty aggressive with one another as the fight for resources intensifies. This type of aggression is common, and not all siblings survive through fledging, unfortunately.
On top of that, the parents have to be ever vigilant for other raptors that are interested in a quick snack. In this video, the male takes off in pursuit of the aggressor.

Incoming! (Very) fresh trout for hungry osprey chicks. 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐟
Dinner time. Fish (again!). All four chicks seem to be thriving and growing fast.
The moment #4 hatched this morning.
And then there were 4! 🐣🐣🐣🐣
These feeding scenes are the best. Still waiting for junior to hatch. It's been a few days since the last chick decided to break out.
It's getting a little crowded in there but this looks like a third chick now, with one egg remaining.
Breakfast!
Breakfast time little ospreys! 🐟
One osprey chick fully hatched, and the second one hatching in this very video!! ❤️🥚🥚🐣🦅❤️
