Latvian eagle in the nest at 16.50



First time I saw it
(somehow I think its female)
Perhaps even laying an egg, she looks like pushing

Is there an egg?

She is sitting in the nest on the EGG




i feel like a midwife

Edit: I didn't see the egg, but I'm 95% sure there is, I have experiences with Eha

Lili, if you feel like a midwife now, just imagine when hatching starts!

Yes, now 100%
There is an egg
17.40



Cant wait then at least no need to push and breath right, easier to midwife

Yes, I just have seen it!

Congratulations, Latvia!

Now the daddy wants to see this miracle

05:05 Just as in Estonia, the Latvian LSE is asleep on her nest. I wonder how many eggs she has?



Pretty lady

It was a frog, though I didn't get snapshot about

Yes, she is

She is in a similar pose this morning (asleep with her head tucked in)

Yesterday, on May 5th, female laid the second egg!
I observed her a few hours. Between 14-17:00 she was rather restless, calling the male frequently, but he has not arrived (he returned only about 20:45). Then she put her head between the wings, and in this pose she has been sleeping for nearly an hour. After she awoke, her behaviour changed, she was very calm and even did not get up until 18:45 - I saw there was still only one egg:


One minute later, at 18:46, she started to raise up her feathers and her tail. I thought that she had been just laying the second egg:


And indeed, when she got up at 18:50 I saw two eggs!



Today, I am a bit worried, because she stays in the nest all the time, and the male doesn’t arrive to bring some food or release her. She is certainly hungry and calls him often: video.


Now, she is sleeping again.

At 18:18 male arrived bringing a very small snack. Female ate it within three seconds. Male left after a minute.


He returned twenty minutes later (18:39) bringing something a bit larger, and has gone. Now, she needed more time to finish her meal, about one minute.

Thank You, Lucy, for that report and pictures. Two eggs now she has caught up with Eha (who seems to sleep a lot, too)

She or he is calling loudly, but no one answering. I dont know how long is from last meeting.

I think he/she begins to look a bit indignant by now... and regularly shouting since nearly one hour

not quite 05:00 ... asleep on the nest.
Interesting bird song in the background - I have no idea what species it might be (sounds like a cross between wood dove and owl )

Everything seems to be ok and there are also some food left.
