Osprey ~ Ilmar & Irma ~ NEST DOCUMENTATIONS 2014

[andi7]

11:38 Corvids could be heard since minutes. Maybe two ospreys against a bunch of crows is not enough to defend the territory around the nest. Anyway I heard only calls of a youngster, but not the typical predelivery and delivery calling.

11:41 I compared the nest of yesterday at 15:56 just after Elar and Ilmar left and nest of 11:41. Actually no osprey have visited the nest since both left:

11.51 It is a empty nest.
Andi7: I think that also. No nest-factory since yesterday afternoon.

I Hear Elar....

[andi7]

12:35 Corvid calling.

[Susie]

It's so deadly quiet around the nest.
Whether they also set off today?

[Kukelke]

17:36 - twice, osprey calls from far away could briefly be heard (the wind blowing in the microphone today doesn't help to detect sounds)

[andi7]

18:23 Some species of the corvid family were around the nest. Jays (?) are moving in the dead tree. Crow or raven could be heard. I think also magpies are calling.

[Kukelke]

19:08 - lots of small, light coloured birds are playing in Ilmar's dead tree; a raven is calling not far away

19:11 - osprey calls, not too far away; but... who is it?


Somehow I have the feeling that Ilmar left and started his migration, but that Elar could still be around. It wouldn't be the first time that an adult leaves before the last chick migrated.

a great tit

18:47 A jay came from the left from under the nest, but did not feel comfortable or saw nothing to eat and left after 8 seconds




19:12 A great tit for some seconds on the nest

7:00 Cam is off-line (stream not found)

7:40 Cam is online and the sun is shining - but the nest is empty.

[Urmas]

7:32 cam is online, but was not before if checked.
Images are previously taken, so either low speed data from cam or server problem.
There is some secret problem in our system...

9:36 - little visitor again: http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -09-36.jpg

No other activity on the nest nor in Ilmar's dead tree according Pontu.
The forest is rather silent this morning. I think the osprey we could hear in the distance yesterday might be gone too.

[Kukelke]

11:15 - osprey calls in the far distance could briefly be heard

[Birdfriend]

16.11 It is a empty nest with light-shadow play. http://193.40.124.24/2014-kalakotkas2-f ... -16-11.jpg

No signs that any bigger bird has visited the nest.

10:30 - the sound of a bird could be heard for a while, not too far from the nest. The sound could remind of an osprey call, but I don't think it is an osprey, maybe another raptor species, but I've no idea which one.
