Olga · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:05 pm

Is there still two chicks?? I'm afraid to watch the cam.. :blush:

halacs · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:06 pm

2 big, 2 small eagles and a little mouse.

Olga · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:11 pm

The Spotlet nr I is about 65-66 hours older than the number 2...is it still there? (sorry.. ) :unsure:

oliv · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:14 pm

Yes renandeli, but Eha don´t know what she have to do :slap:

caysa · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:27 pm

Eha has been such a devoted mother! If the eaglet nr 2 has any chance of surviving - it is with her :nod:

And there is no hurry to feed the little one - it still has its yolk sac to provide nutrition. Even 24 hours without food is usually quite ok :innocent:

A small bird??? At least not a mouse, I think.

halacs · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 3:49 pm

It have big ear. Did water-vole have so? It could be two or three animals he delivered at the same time. Two small and one big.

caysa · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 4:23 pm

Hmm, I did not see the ears...
It was dark grey - almost black... Could it be a common rat?? They do not usually live in forests.
They like people. How far is the nest from nearest houses?

Urmas · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 4:37 pm

Did not recognize the prey, it could be also some young duck?

LSE could forage more as 2km of nest and there are several farms in that area. And LSE uses to hunt on fields or sometimes also near houses - where rats are available. But common rats are only in southern Estonia...

Previous prey was a chick of lapwing or of other wader.

caysa · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 4:42 pm

Thank you, Urmas!!
It is interesting to know about the pray - it probably does not matter to Eha what Koit brings, but to get to know what kind of pray LSE feed on is very educating for us who watch and want to learn.

Urmas · **Posted:** June 3rd, 2009, 4:45 pm

That is useful also for us to know the prey species - this year we have that opportunity, with help of you!
