This is the day: Onni arrives early morning on the nest and his mate Hilma PKJ arrives at 08:37:37!! Reunifikation done. No successful mating yet...
Re: SEILI, FINLAND ARCHIPELAGO 2023 OSPREY CAM
Seili male Onni with a big gift, where's the bride?
Re: SEILI, FINLAND ARCHIPELAGO 2023 OSPREY CAM
Today 11:19 Hilma has returned to the nest, FIN ferry and the chief in mating position. Then he takes off, but without mating; apparently the bride is waiting for fish
Re: SEILI, FINLAND ARCHIPELAGO 2023 OSPREY CAM
Seili: A new female (left leg banded without color) arrived at 5:37 and joined with male Onni, who tried to mate with her. Hilma arrived 6:12 and covered her nest manteling, but without aggression.

Onni delivers fish to both females in the nest but flies by.
2nd arrival minutes later fish for 'NF', she grabbed it immediately and took off.

Onni decided whom to choose for mating & breeding. He defended Hilma's landing on the nest and perching on the outer bar, chased her out of his territory. Then the chief tried another mating with 'NF' but failed...

From Seili-YT blog:
YAY, that's New Female NF which is steadily screaming for fish & Onni has decided he delivers only to his new mate!The left ring commands the nest, this one has a brown v-shaped spot on the "back" while the one sitting on the aisle is more white

Hilma is in the nest, Onni continues to try his 'menage a trois' - mating with Hilma without fish present and again with NF - but Hilma chases him out of the nest. It will play out anyway.

If Onni delivers nothing she supplies herself! Here NF reaches the nest with her own catch - see her full crop -. No fish from the chief, so no mating.
