Why are the young eagles coming so late in the season? (although not all sightings have been young eagle but mostly)

And ... if they keep this cycle, it will not always be too late for a brood?
I don´t think they are migrating later than the adult ospreys, but when they return home to Estonia they still don´t have a certain place to return to, as they are too young to have a "nesting history".
They still have to find the place for themselves and in the meantime they are roaming and strolling around to check the possibilities (for next season?) - see osprey LF from last year here.

Sooner or later they will find a nest and a partner ... it might be that not many of the first-time-returners are already breeding in their first season back home.

And don´t forget --- we can observe "only" two nests here in Estonia and our view is limited to the nests and a small part of vicinity. But apart from that there is already a quite good "harvest" of ringed birds appearing on the nest here :D
Probably this is a result of the fact that this nest is unoccupied this season and so is "free" for stop-and-goes for any osprey in the area ...

I was also pondering whether it is possible that there is an occupied nest close ... and maybe some/two of the ospreys we see on this nest are inhabitants of the occupied nest and "controlling" their territory .... but this is just a wild guess without any proof :whistling:

Good day! :hi: Not a day without events in this nest. Despite the fact that the nest was left uninhabited. Thank you all for the news and updates. Somewhere very deep in my heart I dream of seeing my favorite Piret....

Even if the nest of Mati remains empty this year, in a few days we'll see a small tropical garden again, like the one when Mati left. I wonder what has happened to him.

Thank you Bea for your comments! :wave:

I also do not necessarily care about offspring, although it is nice to watch it. I'm happy about every observation. .... which is not granted to me in this nest. I never have the right moment. :bash: :mrgreen: But your images and videos show beautiful Ospreys and I'm already looking forward to the next year!

I liked the dark girl very much. :whistling:

The youtube link does not work. (with me) Unfortunately, I can not look back.

Since you have not reported, there was no sighting today? :puzzled:

Oh, the link must have changed with a restart, I corrected it, thank you for letting me know, Polly.

Also added the link to channel of Urmas Lett, our Techno-Urmas here, who provides the youtube stream - in case it should change again one can check the actual link at Urmas´ channel.

Amazing non-stop singing from the Sedge Warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) near the nest these past couple of nights. If you tune in early in the morning (cam time) rewind and listen!
