Osprey ~ Ilmar & Irma ~ NEST DOCUMENTATIONS 2014

[Kukelke]

14:33 - calls of a youngster, closer to the nest than the calls at 14:13

14:48 - youngster calling again

15:00 - yelling youngster lands on camera support

[Birdfriend]

14.48 Again calling of youngster.
15.00 Someone lands on the camstand. Elar?
It begins to rain.

[Hellem]

15:00 One ospret flew to the camstand. It`s raining.

The calling Elar from cam stand landed on the nest and received a delivery by Ilmar, who vanished immediately.

He looks astonished - no brother to compete of the prey - and he left with the fish 15:19

[Kukelke]

15:17 - osplet jumped down, it was Elar

15:18 - Ilmar with fish for Elar:






15:19 - Elar off with his fish

[Birdfriend]

15.18 Delivery for Elar! http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -15-18.jpg
15.19 Elar takes off with him.

[Kukelke]

15:51 - osplet landed briefly, not long enough to be able to read the ring

15:52 - delivery by Ilmar. Noone on the nest and Ilmar looked around, gently calling. A bit later Elar landed, but Ilmar kept the fish and continued looking around and make these gentle calls (was he looking for Aino?):










15:56 - Ilmar flew off with the fish, followed by Elar the same second


Would this be it? Has Aino started the greatest journey of his life? I have a feeling that he did.

Godspeed Aino, bon voyage and stay safe!

15:52
Ilmar arrives with a half fish in talons, Elar follows. Elar had made a very short touch-and-go on the nest seconds before.

15:51 Elar touch-and-go


15:51/52 Ilmar with fish

At 15:56 both take off, one immediately after the other. No hand-over of the fish has happened, Ilmar kept it.

[Owlie]

15.51
First arrived Elar, then Ilmar with a headless fish ... Ilmar holds the fish in his talons and Elar sings something in a "questioning" tone ... Elar explains a long story and Ilmar still holds the fish - do they wait for Aino, perhaps?

15.56
Ilmar left first with the fish and thereafter Elar - without fish

16:06
I think an osprey flew above to the dead tree. Terrible corvid sounds nearby ...

[Owlie]

16:30
Heavy raining

16:51
Thunder sounds

16:52
I think the ospret - I suggest at this stage that it is Elar - is on the cam stand or near it

16:58
Short but alert chirping from the cam support - or should I say from the microphone?

[Kukelke]

16:49 - youngster is yelling from far away

16:52 - youngster lands on camera support

[Birdfriend]

16.58 I heard Elar calls from the camstand.

[Owlie]

around 17:50 (I went out for a while before this)
Elar is calling somewhere in the forest

17:59 and 19:26
A minor airplane disturbs the sounds of the forest

[Kukelke]

17:51 - a youngster calling in the distance

[Birdfriend]

18.15 Elar calls in the distance. Always again call, but Elar not lands in the nest to now.
19.39 Elar not more coming in at this evening.

September 13

good morning

6:57 for a short time I hear an Osprey in the distance
7:02 osprey calls





edited by Nancy M to add the date

[airras]

7:24

[andi7]

10:05 Calls of a youngster nearby. Since pontu-archive started working this morning at 6:22 nothing was changed in the nest, so no one of an osprey's size visited the nest. But it was a very foggy morning, maybe no delveries in such bad weather.

[Kukelke]

11:16 - osprey calls not too far from the nest, sounded like a juvenile

[Birdfriend]

11.31 Soft calling in the nearby. Maybe, Elar got his fish-delivery not more in the nest.
