Balbucam, France - Reda and new male PEB have a challenger: orange ringed osprey 89 >
Quote:
For Reda, then for Peb, we had waited for the males to be visibly accepted and installed to give them a nickname. But the situations evolve so quickly this year that I will validate the denomination of Sam, abbreviation of "Samaritan", suggested by Brimilou since this providential male allowed this morning to Sylva to feed after a new and long period of fasting ...
Sam seems for the moment very calm, very present, active, good fisherman. We have not seen it yet, it may be the surprise?

Viewing this video may lead us to moderate the impression we had on direct vision, the one Sam had gracefully left his fish to Sylva.
In reality, Sam first lands carefully on the edge of the nest. Seeing the fish, Sylva gets up and rushes for prey. But the visitor, believing that he is the target, disappears in time, and goes for a walk. And we see him coming back and landing again in the next minute. It moves forward, slides, goes back, always fish at the foot. Then he decides to stir wood, and finally to move a piece away, loose the fish. Gradually it deviates a little more from the fish. Sylva watches the scene, and seeing Sam away from her prey, she tries her luck and throws herself on her. Sam believes again to be the target and flies away, leaving his good to the hungry female.
Sam arrived 19:32 CET with fish and left...maybe he's beheading it and returns soon...
