21:46 - Metra gasps for fly

June 14
7:07 - Metra call, stretching and flies away


7:10 - Metra back with branch

7:10 - the oldest picks the youngest



7:18 - Metra cleans her feathers and sit back on the little ones

Good morning
This is the first time I see the second eaglet, poor little creature I wonder if Metra will feed him, or if the oldest will let her do it, or maybe she will just neglect the youngest and concentrate on the oldest? Huff, this is so sad..( in human eyes)

I have to admit I am not sure I want to watch this at all, but my recollection from Spot's nest which I watched closely is that it is not at that the parents prefer the elder, or that the elder is really fighting for food. It is just that little LSEs attack moving objects -- attacking their mother's beak is how they get food. They do this in nests where there is only one chick (I think mom's stand back pretty far, and the chicks have to wriggle and snap for food). Unfortunately when there is a second younger chick, it cannot stand up to the assault.

8:06 - metra picks a prey from stock and start feeding, she offer food to the youngest, but this goes lie down


Metra stops feeding, she walks to the other side of the nest bowl, and back, plucks a few times and looks to the rest prey







8:23 - go sit back on the chicks

I don't know if I can watch this either, but I hope the process goes fast so the youngest don't suffer too long:( ( or us..)

08:23 - Breakfast is finnished, Metra is covering her chicks:


I have to go, have a nice day

Lussi, have a nice day

8:38

8:05 -

8:18 -

Chicks are fighting!

...and now the cam is off.

9:23 - disconnect

German connection over http://deutschewildtierstiftung.de/ changed the written topic, yesterday or today (?).

It says: Brudermord im Schreiadlerhorst (english: brother murder in Lesser spotted Eagle nest)

I dont know if that means, IT already happened, or why they changed the topic.

Maybe that is why the cam is off ??? or is it just a technical problem.

At 9.16 they were fighting: not the oldest pecked the youngest but they both attacked each other, even the smallest one! When I opened the cam next time, it was off.
Upd: now the cam is back.

It' s problem with electricity supply. Some repairing works.

12:48 - A buzzard call, Metra calls back, warning I think

12:51 - Macho with vole

12±53
Metra calls a time, standing with the mouse in beak, puts him on the right side of the nest bowl

Delivery at 12:51, still both chicks in nest and alive.
