Good morning all.

LSE chick in the nest.

Still alone, looking around........

From 13:03 to 13:08 the other of one of the parents came for two times. The eaglet replied to the calls of parents.

At 13:05 the parent left but returned after two minutes. It was time for feeding.

Feeding time. Good afternoon everybody.

The young one has a -visable- fully filled crop, so Mum is eating the last pieces of the prey.

17:34 mother eagle came with a twig

At 20:11 I saw that the chick was waking up. Mother preened it a bit, and the chick made voices, baby callings. Is the chick very hungry or.. It's normal that they are almost always hungry, not too difficult to guess..






20:13



20:14

20:15

Both preening! Mother watching around and the chick watching mother.



20:17

20:18 - 20:20

Preening the chick and after that the peak moment: There was a mole in mother's storage under the twigs! Mother begun to tear the prey into small peaces: Feeding time!

20:20 - 20:21

Eating.. It looked very nice when the chick followed mother's beak exactly in the same rhythm.

220:22 - 22:25

Some preen at while, then nest bottom airing..

I think I saw an other mole that the mother picked up from some where. The chick looks to have progressed very well. It's time have a rest.

20:30 - 20:34

Video: Lesser Spotted Eagle Nest in Latvia

June 27, 2010: How exciting to find an active Lesser Spotted Eagle nest! This one is located in Latvia. There is also one in Estonia, but no chicks this year. The video was recorded around 10 PM, Latvian time, and the light is fading.

Aquila pomarina

Mēs varam redzēt skaistas Latvijas ērgļi!

thanks for all the updates and pictures!
so good to see that the family is doing well!
interesting, does the chick have a name?

Reminds me of Spot. Very demanding and voracious too. Eating and eating... !!
We can even hear the dog barking too.
Thank you for the video beans.

I'm limiting my time on this cam to about 15 minutes so that the researchers will have access.

My free Photobucket account exceeded the amount of bandwidth, so I went over to "Pro." It's worth it, because now I have unlimited broadband each year. And once I paid, all of my photos magically reappeared! This is not an advertisement for PhotoBucket, but I thought I should post the information for those whose photos have disappeared from this forum. We want to see your photos!

* US $24.95 for one year
* US $39.90 for two years (20% off the yearly price)
* US $2.99 per month (pay as you go)

That's exactly what I've been wondering about.

Maybe some Latvian member knows more?

Is this nest popular in Latvia? How many people are watching? Is there a forum about it? Some "official" data?

Cerība means hope in Latvian. Perhaps this little eaglet represents hope for the Lesser Spotted Eagles.
