NEST OBSERVATIONS ESTLAT Osprey Nest 1 Madis & Piret ~ 2012

[andi7]

The 12:25-fish is so big. All three chicks could eat three times and still left something to eat for Piret.

[andi7]

13:02 Someone in the air attracted Piret and Elo's attention on the right sight. Then someone landed upstairs. I think it was Madis, Piret talked to him short and started feeding of Elo again. Still half or one third of the fish delivered 12:25 left.

Observations 13.14 – 14.40
A feeding was going on when I came on again. The fish was pretty large, Elo and Nori were feed, Nori sleeping in front of the nest. After some minuts Elo got most bites and Nori was in waiting position.
13.20 Elo turned away and Uno walked in position and Uno and Nori got bites
13.25 Now Uno turned away and Nori was the only one to be feed but already
13.27 rain begins to be more heavy and also Nori turns away and find some shelter under Uno, Piret eats but rain become too heavy even for her some minuts later and she stops eating
13.42 the worse raining is over and Piret continues eating and Uno went up and in position
13.43 noise from upstairs – did Madis flew?
Then I had to have a break for having some lunch, around 13.56 I heard some calls
13.58 still Uno gets food, but Nori on the way to get more
13.59 Uno turned away and Nori toke over his place to get food
The rest of the feeding according to Punto archive: Nori in front of Piret until 14.12 where Piret no more is in nest
And since I just have seen the chicks relaxing in nest and heard noise from upstairs once.

Have a nice afternoon - have to leave again

Must be the fish from 12:25. Wow, it was so big feeding lasted over one hour.

Nice picture in the pontu-archive (16:50). Chicks should start in synchronized preening at the Olympics.

Hello everybody, I’m Wil from the Netherlands. I was following ‘Beleef de Lente’ (enjoy the spring?) in the Netherlands and well there was a hope misery. Happily someone put a link to Looduskalender. From the first time I saw the images of these beautiful birds I was in love. Sind’s then I watch everyday, also to the 2 LSE nest and I’m lucky I was in a early stage because they were breading on their eggs. I saw live that Elo made a whole in here egg, that was fantastic. I want to thank all the volunteers who make it possible that people all over the world can watch to all these high quality webcams and also every one else for the information, photo’s and video’s. Sorry for my English, I speak and understand English but I can't write it.

17:26 Madis delivered a fish

[andi7]

17:26 fish delivery. It takes a while (17:30) for the start of feeding. But now Nori and Elo are feeded, Uno makes some wing exercises and is not interested in the fish.

Obs. 17.39 – 18.09

Again I missed delivery and arrived in the middle of a feeding - from the delivery at 17.26 I suppose:

17.39 a feeding was going on, Nori and Uno were feed. Elo has got a new interest, was exercising wings – perhaps tricked by the wind
17.47 Nori got the tailpiece – and that was the end of that feeding, except that Nori found a big lost piece in nest which also was eaten. Piret as usual clean the nest for wastet food.
17.51 now some homework biting sprigs of the new twig in the left side of nest.
17.55 Piret flew off. Chicks lie down
18.02 calls heard nearby – but not from upstairs. The calls as Piret normally uses when she is coming to nest with a new branch or twig – but she didn´t come to nest
18.05 noise from upstairs.
18.07 Piret back in nest
18.08 Madis flew from upstairs and
18.09 Piret left nest , chicks looked after her and then sounds from upstairs afterwards, she most be there.

Since I have “just” seen sleeping chicks

[Kukelke]

19:00 - Madis delivers a large fish. Lots of noise from Piret and the chicks to start with (as usual), but in the end only Nori seems to be hungry and is fed by Piret.
