10.03

Madis brings a piece of fish and takes over the eggs to keep them nice and warm.



Piret ready to fly away with it.
After a few seconds Madis flies away too.

[b.h-p]

10.02 Madis came with fish for Piret and she left, but some angry calls from her was heard shortly after. A Crow was heard and later on also a Buzzard - and Madis left nest too.
Do someone try to steal the fish from Piret, so she needed help from Madis?

10.09 one landed upstairs

10.11 Madis back on eggs

[b.h-p]

10.02


it was a just a small piece of fish

10.03 a lot of noise, Madis keeps an eye on what is going on, and flew away a bit later

[b.h-p]

11.50 Piret released Madis

[b.h-p]

12.49 Madis came with barch and Piret left

13.03 it was still Madis in nest

13.21 now it´s Piret in nest - didn´t see the change

[b.h-p]

13.45 Piret was in nest
13.46 heard few calls and found nest empty
13.47 Madis arrived and settled on eggs - within a minut Piret arrived too, she struggled a bit with her large twig and told Madis to go out for catching her a large fish. At first he didn´t understand what she was telling started instead to move the barch, but she went on telling him and finally
13.49 he understood and left

and so do I for some hours

Thanks for the pictures and notes from today! Welcome, HemplerRitter!

I looked briefly through the pontu pictures 14:00-20:00. Some results:

14:00 One bird in the nest
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -14-00.jpg
14:13 The second eagle has landed. Which one? With prey? Not visible
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -14-13.jpg
14:14 Change?
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -14-14.jpg
14:44 Chirping?
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -14-44.jpg
16:22 Eggs alone for one minute
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -16-22.jpg
19:25 Looks as if Madis has just landed
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-25.jpg
One minute later one bird has left the nest
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-26.jpg

19:27 Both in the nest, probably Piret came just back
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-27.jpg
19:28 Still both in the nest. 19:29 the second adult bird out of sight again
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-28.jpg
19:42 Piret is in the nest
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-42.jpg
19:58 Piret in the nest
http://pontu.eenet.ee/kalakotkas/2012-0 ... -19-58.jpg

20:05 I opened the cam
20:15 The eagle gets up for some seconds: Piret
20:43 Gets up again
20:46 She rolls the eggs
20:46-21:24 Piret in the nest all the time. Many flies/midges are visible this evening
21:32 She´s calling
21:33/34 Still calling
21:35/37 Sounds more and more impatient? urgently?
21:40 Madis arrives without prey. Piret calls very loud
21:42 She´s making a horrible noise, I have never heard her calling for such a long time. She stops "talking" shortly before Madis leaves
21:45 She get´s up, stretches her wings, leaves the nest
21:46 Piret returned
21:58 I closed the cam

21:40 Madis arrives without prey, Piret is calling since a few minutes. Hungry?
Or maybe there was an intruder? Nothing was visible, but they were looking around


21:44/45 Piret stretches her wings and leaves the nest for a minute

[b.h-p]

13.50 I closed forum, but had cam. open for a while and
14.12 Madis arrived with a smaller piece of barch – he did after all not understand what Piret asked for –and this time she decided to leave herself which happened at 14.13 and Madis settled on eggs.


Then I closed cam. too and opened first again at

18.32 Madis was on eggs
19.05 Piret arrived and Madis left
19.25 Madis returned with a twig and Piret left - but just shortly, was back again after 43 seconds. When it looked as if Madis intented to sit on the eggs she pushed him away and sat on eggs herself and
19.28 Madis flew from nest
For more times after 21 Piret began to call loudly and around 21.35-40 it sounded more or less hysterically
21.40 Madis came, with a smaller twig – Piret talked very loudly to him


21.42 Madis flew away and since I have just seen Piret in nest and since dark I have "just" heard the Nightingale.


thanks to all for reports, pics and videos
