Lesser Spotted Eagle Webcam Discussion 2009 ~ Eha & Koit

[asteria]

First time it was a toad.

[macdoum]

Good.!! Koit is catching up with the prey and bringing to the nest. ? 3 visits.
At the end of the feeding I saw Eha giving the 'other' Spot a little poke to the beak area. Not much of a reaction from him.

Eha up and stretching and both chicks seemed to move.

Why is she digging into the nest?

[asteria]

It's for ventilation, Padis did the same.

[yarko]

Is it usual that the male stop hunt for chicks?

Hi oliv - Koit did'nt stop hunting.
-it's probably just the rainy weather that makes hunting difficult.
After chick(s) are hatched both LSE parents usually keep taking care of their offspring.

[alice44]

But they NEED food soon.
20:22
Eha is ripping up a tiny bit of food. The nearer chick seems to be getting it. The back one was pecking at the closer one -- but to me it seemed to be lack of coordination. I don't think the back chick is getting any food.





The little one was up at the beginning ;( but by the end Spot 1 was sitting on it.

[katsik]

Little one got nothing...

[asteria]

Now Eha gave him something.

[katsik]

Bigger chick holds younger on his wing, he cant move at all.

[alice44]

I just heard the train for the first time -- I assume it was from this cam. I am not running any other.

[kenny]

at about 20.31 Eha was eating and feeding Spot Sen.
Spot sen. was holding the little Spot jun. in a wrestling headlock, little ones head under the arm, Spot jun tried to fight out but Spot Sen. has taken some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu behind mummy's back and didn't let go.

Can't you give Spot 1 a little bit Valium?? Then he will be quieter and Spot 2 can
eat more and get stronger...

Now I've seen the video: Spot 1 is as mean as a young cuckoo in a nest and for the same reason: wants to survive and does not know that both of them can do
so! Let's hope Spot 2 finds a strategy to overcome number 1!

[asteria]

Better kidnap Spot 2 from the nest before it is too late. Or give them a set of mice and voles.

[Jo UK]

ergee is right - Spot 1 doesn't know that both can survive. It msut be an eagle's instinct to behave this way.

We were warned

[Lili]

Hi all!
Two Can you imagine what means missing 2-3 days of nest life...I havent seen Spot Junior yet Though on pictures and videoclips, thanks for that
Kenny you are talented---I remember you wannabe movie maker, but also ornithologist. Now perhaps you should think beeing comic-strip maker as well. Or better maybe you can combine all these three in future! Great comics

[Olga]

Hi, it's great that Koit brought food today! I will be happy if one chick have the possibility to crow up and I'll try to watch this nest consciously from some emotionally distance to avoid the ( propable) anguish and torment that cainism may cause...It can be difficult. It is very good that we have been warned.

If both survive there will be nothing to prevent to my joy! It would be almost a miracle.. We have seen almost miracles sometimes.. but no one knows when we see one next time.

[Lili]

yes you heard from here, Urmas wrote that railroad is about 200m. and i just heard it too..no ghost trains:P

No, no, no..road is about 200m, but railway is about 3km

[kenny]

No, no, no..road is about 200m, but railway is about 3km

Sorry,yes. That horn sound could have been some big truck passing.

[alice44]

In damp cool weather I think train noises travel much further than usual -- (I suppose it could have been a truck but I think train).

I was really worried with all the rain and so little food when they were both so small -- I was afraid neither would make it -- which would make me hurt. But if one survives, that will be success.

I do not think it is fair to think Spotlet 1 is mean -- just struggling for his life. He was fierce grabbing at food from Eha even before Spot 2 was hatched. And remember realistically if there is not much food it would be possible that there would NOT be enough for both to make it. One survival is better than none. Of course I do NOT want to see Spot 2 fail.
