Today after lunch, or more precisely at one o’clock, lesser spotted eagle Eha showed her second egg laid in the nest
 
Usually one chick, the stronger, will fledge in a lesser spotted eagle nest, but when there is enough food it has happened that both spread their wings. Forest life will show!
 
The forum for Eha and Koit is here:

Female eagle Eha had laid the egg towards evening. We can see both parents. Male eagle Koit has a darker plumage and is smaller.

This year Kotkaklubi again installed cameras at two Lesser Spotted Eagle Nests. Camera 1 showed the last year newly built nest of Eha and Koit. Camera 2 was installed at the former Black Stork nest, now the nest of Tuuli and Remo. As a "poor vole year" was announced, the big question was, if the birds would start nesting at all.
 
Shortly after the activation of camera 1 Eha was seen, getting the nest in order together with Koit. As we learned in the course of the next few days, the female seen in front of the camera was not the original Eha anymore. The name "Eha" remained for the bird. On May 5 Eha laid a single egg, from which on June 13 a chick hatched, which we forum people named "Kalev". There was only one egg and we could watch a caring Eha hardly leaving her Kalev out of her sight. Fortunately our concerns...

Lesser spotted eagle Kalev was two months old on Monday. Half the days are spent hanging around in the branches of the nest tree and the camera shows an empty nest. The nest site is chosen by the lesser spotted eagles and the nest built by them.
 
Adult birds Eha and Koit are on the final stretch of another successful breeding period (in terms inspired by the Olympic Games).

 This morning the goshawk once more attacked lesser spotted eagle Stephi. The goshawk managed to drag the spotted eagle out of the nest. Joosep from Eagle club (Kotkaklubi) who arrived in the nest forest a few hours ago to check the situation  (a living eaglet would have been possible to get back into the nest) found the killed lesser spotted eagle under the nest tree. Meanwhile the goshawk had managed to crush the head of the eaglet and remove it from the body. The bird has been brought to Dr. Madis Leivits’s clinic for autopsy.

The „apple of their eye“ of lesser spotted eagles Eha and Koit is one month old. Until fledging as long still remains. Small children, small worries, bigger ones ... Quite a lot more food is used up. The rainy weather doesn’t send frogs into their hiding places.
The thundery weather has brought about occasional breaks in the camera transmissions, and more have to be expected. Let’s hope that our technology won’t  be damaged. Touch wood!
