Estonian white-tailed sea eagle nest camera 2018

[rebelde]

Great pictures, Timea, Sova, and others
This little one must be the best fed eaglet ever
I have screenhots from the early morning (from 4.19 to 6.10) and will post a small selection of them here still today; sorry for the delay.

Here are some pictures from the last feeding (which had already started when I opened the camera link).

About 20:03 Sulev lands with a big headless fish, Suvi tooks it and started eating

About 20:11 Feeding continues , Sulev flew away

Hello Konrad
Yes, I keep asking myself that. Is it wind (no wind) ... but could it be humidity too? Good, more clouds would be good too.
What to watch (the sun is always more intense).
No idea ...
... and something else ... the little one is fully fed every day. Maybe that's also a problem (maybe I write nonsense)

The humidity could be a good reason, but I checked it and there was practically no difference between today and yesterday. The relative humidity was on both days about 70 % during the night and early morning, 40 % at noon and afternoon. The only difference was in temperature, but just a couple of degrees in the afternoon.

Have to underline to everyone reading these postings, that nothing is wrong with any of these eagles. It was just surprising, that the difference in the breathing rate and also in the behaviour of the adults was so big, although the difference in weather conditions was so little.

Here we go again... Fresh fish from Sulev. Suvi feeds.

19:46 Suvi started feeding her overeating chick and the eaglet is able to swallow

Food gets to him/her so easy, really; no fighting over it

about 2011:

Sounds like it is starting to rain... Suvi is feeding, Sulev does nestorations

19:46 Suvi started feeding her overeating chick and the eaglet is able to swallow

It has a lot of growing to do and will become a strong, healthy WT Eagle :-)))

[Sylvika]

But, I'm worried that this baby never will be able to fly,
BECAUSE it really is too heavy. Needs long diet before flying!

[Hellem]

Here we go again... Fresh fish (from Sulev? - didn-t see the arrival) or is it the same from before?

Konrad ... that's the interesting one
Maybe Mr. Urmas could tell us something about that

but ... hey, better that way

[sova]

Yes that's true
Good night Timea

Back for a sec. Suddenly I noticed our Chick has a downy "Mohawk"




Almost all the down on its head is gone.
