Posted: April 8th, 2013, 3:31 pm
INTRODUCTION
The life of the WTE*)-pair Linda and Sulev has been followed already in summers 2009 and 2010 when they successfully raised two eaglets in both summers. In the beginning of each breeding season an introduction to the nest camera and the nesting pair has been given in the Looduskalender’s WTE nest camera opening page. Also in the beginning of season 2011 a summary of breeding seasons 2009 and 2010 was given in the WTE nest forum.
Information about Linda and Sulev and their family life has been given over the years is scattered in various places both in Looduskalender and in the forum. The aim here is to collect this information in one place where it will be easily found. Firstly information on the nesting eagle pair and their nest site is summed up and some links for further information are given. Secondly a brief overview on the previous nesting seasons is presented. Linda and Sulev are old friends to some viewers who have followed their lives in these previous years. Hopefully this summary will serve both these earlier viewers as well as the more recent ones.
Finally the main aim of these Summary pages is to review briefly the daily events at the nest. Pictures will not be posted here except in special cases, as they can be found in the forum pages in abundances. A link to the beginning to each day’s notes in the forum pages will be given for to make it easier to find any specific day.
