I hope the lesser spotted eagle will nest soon. It is a very beautifull bird
Does anyone know any good site, in internet, with information about the behaviour of eagles and generaly raptors??
Thank you in advance :loveshower:
Hello, Fuego -
you may know this one already, but just in case: for eagles in Estonia (and black storks), try the Estonian Eagle Club (Kotkaklubi) site http://www.kotkas.ee/ENG/eagles.html
You might also like to check out the European Raptors site http://europeanraptors.org/ for facts and more links
Also Bernd-Ulrich Meyburg's site http://www.raptor-research.de

I asked Urmas about this white spot. He says

The feathering is not fixed body cover, there are and will be moulted feathers, old and new ones, some fall out. Think white spot is because one body covering feather is fallen out and new one not visible, yet. So white underwear is visible.

Thankyou, Urmas.

About 13.00 both eagles were on the nest. The light was not so good at that moment but I made a picture.

At 17.48 one of the eagles came to the nest with a prey. It looked like a mole as it was laying down. But soon s(he) flew away with this prey.

It looks like Koit (to me) with the prey.

Thursday 22 April

At about 10:35 I saw Koit on the nest for a moment -- then I lost the connection and then I saw him on an upper branch on the left -- just a tail in view (so that could have been Eha).
