Estonian LSE Nest Discussion 2013 ~ Tuuli and Remo

[Felis silvestris]

Isn't the nest a bit big for a small tit? Even if it is called "Great" tit
Slowly time is ticking off! I don't know, still, if I should be sad or relieved?

[asteria]

Now who was here and moved the leaves?

[Bubo]

14:38 - 14:39 I just heard LSE voices...

[asteria]

Even storks don't want to show up here! And LSE couple is also hiding.

Yes, that's weird. Last year there was BS on the nest on 14th or 15th of April. This year until now only few Great Tit...

[asteria]

BS was near this nest a few days ago but it didn't land on it!

We have a new topic, a nest cam at a Greater Spotted Eagle nest in Poland:

A little bit sunshine on the nest - but it is still empty.

[Starling]

19.21 Empty nest, nice weather.
I looked last year´s thread: Tuuli arrived on April 12 and Remo on April 28. So I guess it´s not too late yet them to arrive.

I also won´t give up hope yet for nesting here. Spring made a late start this year - and who knows what´s going on out of our view?

[Manu]

I checked the nest-cam several times a day. I didn't see any movements, but I didn't give up hope.

[Starling]

Bea & Manu April is still full of hope! But if they are not back by somewhere on May...

[asteria]

Looks like they are already back but not in this nest.

[Wil Muller]

I don't give up hope. We had a bad and long winter, nature delays like the tits they can put off it for 1 month. In the birdmap you could see that some birds get south again because of the bad weather in Europe. If have the cam every day one for the coming of...

[asteria]

Suppose we have a choice: nobody in this nest or watch one more victim of the intruder what would be "the less evil"? I think the answer is obvious.

This cam is in the South Estonia while Tiit and Tiina's nest is in the North. So they should have been back.

[Bea]

Guess there are a lot of possibilities .... other nest somewhere here around, not yet in the area - still to come, other nest far away, no nesting at all this season .... and winter for Goshawks was hard, too

[Manu]

Here's an article in the newspaper which said the LSE's are two weeks later "on tour" than years before.
I'm sorry, it's only in German.

So we will see what's happen here in this nest.

[Wil Muller]

Thank you Manu for the article. It is clearly for me that birds adapt to nature.

[Felis silvestris]

Thanks Manu. Dr Kinser informed today also that the German website http://www.schreiadler.org/ has been revised. Information about the eagles in German and a link to the Latvian cam. They were partners in the Abel project.
Maybe we should not give up hope already
