Earliest brood which is known here in Estonia was layd at the beginning of March and in 1990-ties in western coast the average laying of first egg was 19th of March (unpublished data of Veljo Volke, NGO Eagle Club Estonia).
Nest locates at the western coast of Estonia, about 2km from the Baltic Sea. Nest was found in spring 2007 but it was build at least 2005 or even earlier. Both last years - 2007 and 2008 - the pair raised two youngs. In 2007 both nestlings were ringed and one of them we saw at the winter feeding grounds 1.02.2009! Female is also ringed in 1998 but we do not know yet the origin of the bird. Male is without rings and therefore we all can distinguish the gender of birds.
Nest is on the aspen tree (Populus tremula).
