White-tailed Eagles Discussion ~ 2010 ~ Linda & Sulev

[Urmas]

Kenny should be right, the camera is looking more-less north (did not measure on place exactly).

We will see, if that is better in sunny days. We hope so!

The image of nest tree and somebody climbing there, it is from last year. This year the cam is on the same tree, only about two meters of nest, almost oposite direction.

Thank you Urmas for all the efforts.!! You have done well and Sulev has arrived !!.
Thanks to all who posted pics these past few days.
Kenny,its good to see you. :peek:
Still,from Kenny's and Ploughboy's videos we may still have a 'little sea-sickness'
Sulev you are doing a good job...hope your Love arrives soon.
I know one lady who is very happy already.!! You guessed right ..its Mutikluti.!!
May this season be as sucessful as last.

Good morning!

Cam is down but with Pontu is all OK...
08.50
Sulev arrived...

[Liis]

Good morning -
there are Pontu images from about 6.50 (camera time) onwards http://pontu.eenet.ee/kotkas/2010-03-04 ... -06-50.jpg
but my direct stream screen stays blank (rather, black). Can see all other cams, both RealPlayer & MediaPlayer.
There were local Internet transmission problems in my area yesterday, very curiously selective, but this ...?
(Sound of something - wind? - can be heard)
EDIT: See Mutikluti's post above: camera image seems to be down

The cam is working again!

good morning and thanks for the morning/evening pictures. judging by them i agree with Kenny and Urmas confirmed that the camera is pointing more or less to the North - North-West. that is good: we'll have the mid-day sun behind 'our backs' and the lighting will be optimal on the nest. if there was only one possible branch where to install the camera, we were really lucky because i think this is the best possible viewing angle.

i opened the camera some time ago and i had the sound on for some minutes but no picture... it's good there's Pontu.

i have one more question: how far is this nest from the WTE feeding place? (maybe this information has already been somewhere, but i've forgotten... )

urmas has really been brave, climbing those trees. they look breath-takingly high.

edit 9.25: yes! the camera works again!

[Mutikluti]

10.00
Sulev arrived, he worked and then left again...

[Mutikluti]

[Mutikluti]

10.05
Sulev left...

[ame]

the cam seems to be down again...
the Pontu pictures above are amazingly clear.
now the cam returned!
and went away...
10.58: and back again!

BTW: we have also one more advantage over last season: the camera and the nest are in the same tree. maybe this will mean less seasickness for us, as the cam and the nest will sway in the wind together in same pace...

the camera keeps going off and coming back... it's snowing quietly...

[Jo UK]

This cam is solar-powered too, so if the light is poor the camera doesn't function?

Oh, no. Not snow on the solar panels.

About 40 km, Renno or Urmas said somewhere - I think, but may be wrong , didn't find the post.
EDIT:
25 km, "as the crow flies", found the post, by Urmas

[Kuremari]

Good morning!
is this Sulev on the nest??

[asteria]

No, it is Linda!

[Mutikluti]

08.58
Looks like as Sulev but just now I am looking on the feather on the head.....Maybe he is ecited...and feathers are up...One eagle is nearby...Is this eagle Linda or not? This eagle flew by the nest...

[oliv]

So beautiful waiting in the sun

[ame]

it looks so cool and calm, looking around the scenery. to me it looks rather peaceful... i think it's mainly the wind that is fluffing the feathers. -the eagles usually have a furry look.

[alice44]

He is definitely seeing something interesting out there.

[Mutikluti]

This eagle is our Sulev!

[oliv]

He needs a blanket for his could feet.
