New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

In Läänemaa, in the WTE nest furnished with a web camera, this year’s nester is a mallard ... She has been coming to the nest at night for a week to lay eggs and probably began brooding today. Interesting to see what will happen if the nest’s owners come home? The white-tailed eagles skipped breeding this year although the nest was nicely put in order. Meanwhile buzzards were there too arranging twigs, but chose to nest in their "own“ nest nearby.

The forum people call the mallard lady Mrs Maisy Daisy.
 
Early in the morning the mallard mum arrives at the nest to lay eggs and usually leaves the nest already around 9. How many eggs are there in the eagle nest? There should definitely be four.
 
The female mallard’s camouflage colouring is perfect and at a quick glance she may be completely undetectable. The video shows the dark blue area framed by white on the wings very well, the beak is orange – dark brown. Mallards fly with relatively slow wing beats and their wings are somewhat rounder compared to other ducks.

„Strange" eagle in camera view
 
The doings of one’s species kins are the most interesting. A younger bird was at Linda’s and Sulev’s nest on Sunday, out of curiosity or checking it out. Urmas believes that it was a three years old bird.

Lark winter morning, snow on the ground, some degrees of frost.
Today, Saturday, only Sulev visited the nest, was busy for a few minutes and then left.
We will see how things develop.

Three years – three different springs
 
The web camera at the white-tailed eagle nest works for the third year. One might ask what there is to see once more: they will probably prepare the nest, sit on the eggs, feed the young ...
But at the same time the three springs have been quite different:

in 2009 we brought the camera stream to Internet in the beginning of March...

Wednesday at 11.21 am: 
 
Today, just before noon, the owners of the nest arrived back "home“. It looked as if they had been on a little trip, and things must be straightened up and put back in their places.
Linda and Sulev were busy for some time; they didn’t come back to the nest in the evening.
A thorough overview with web camera captures and videos are in the LK forum:

After nesting the mute swans are now with their young  in the sea bays, and the white-tailed eagles have discovered this easy prey. One cygnet escaped over the rim of the nest  - but it is a long way to go to its family and the sea ...

On June 12, around 6.37, one of the eaglets tried to "fire" at the web camera lens, so for some days already we have had to accept a somewhat dimmer  view. Hopefully "precision shooting" will not become a new hobby.
