18:50 One bird on the eggs, raindrops on the feathers
18:53 Yawns, looks around
19:02/19:03/19:04 Sounds like gunshots in a distance
19:08-19:10 Osprey works with the nest material within its reach
19:11 Very alert, a big bird flies past in the background. Osprey?
19:17 The eagle gets up twice and rolls the eggs. Ring is visible, it´s the male
19:18 The bird is very attentive all the time, now it “bites” in the nesting material vigorously. Again this sound – two gunshots?
19:31 A big bird flies by twice in the background – the female?
19:32 Noisy landing “upstairs”, chirping
19:33 The female jumps into the nest, the male leaves
19:39 Female gets up, rolls the eggs
19:40 Male returns with a clump of dry grass (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mCjDwtPwGo. Slow motion pictures: see video below). Female gets up, rolls the eggs, sits down; they “talk” a little
19:41 Male leaves the nest
19:50 Female still on the eggs when I closed the cam

19:11 Madis in the nest, an Osprey(?) flies past in the background


19:32 Noisy landing “upstairs”, chirping


19:32 Piret jumps into the nest


19:33 Madis leaves

19:40 Madis returns to the nest with a clump of grass (slow motion pictures).

Hello spL, welcome! And thank you for sharing your observations and pictures.
I love the "work-work" picture from 13:15.

Yes, I posted this video here recently. I like ARKive very much, because in my opinion it´s one the most beautiful places in the web - very educational, very nice images and videos of endangered species.

About Arkive: "Wildlife films and photos are vital weapons in the battle to save the world's endangered species from the brink of extinction.
So with the help of the world’s best filmmakers, photographers, conservationists and scientists, ARKive is creating the ultimate multimedia guide to the world's endangered animals, plants and fungi."

At first Piret agrees Madis can go on the eggs, but doesn't leave herself. Stands very close to Madis and starts changings sticks and nestmaterial, talking all the while. At last Madis flies away.

9.38

Did Madis bring fish?

13.20 opened, Piret in nest
13.43 heard few calls, looked - no Osprey in nest, but
13.44 heard someone landing upstairs, and then I had to leave for a while, when I came back
14.04 still noone in nest
14.08 when I looked Piret was in nest again
14.12 Madis came with fish and Piret flew out

14.24 Piret returned to nest, didn´t see if she brought anything with her. Madis left

perhaps she brought the dark clump of something in front of her right leg it wasn´t in nest before

Picture of about 1 hour ago:



And now at 14.58 such strong wind!

Look at where the line of the trees goes:



It is almost frightening.

17:28 Bad weather ...


17:30 Madis fish delivery express for shouting Piret. Madis on the eggs.

18.07 Piret came back to nest, after a short while Madis finally decided to get up and flew then

from a little earlier ...

Nest was empty for a few minutes, Piret (or was it Madis ) took of for a short flight and then came back and sat down on the eggs again.

EEST 17:06 - 17:08

it was Piret - Madis has a ring at his right leg

18:59 Still bad weather

19.58

SPL, I have the exact same picture and wanted to make a remark about the weather causing a bad hair day. But one is enough.



Couldn't resist it though....... So...bad-hairday for Piret.

20:37 One bird on the eggs, quite strong wind
21:45 The eagle gets up for some seconds, I saw no ring: Piret
21:57 I closed the cam, nothing happened. The female sat on the eggs all the time except for some seconds and was very attentive. The wind has died down

Hello Doc, welcome and thanks for the link
