Latvian Osprey nest 2018 - Tija and Teo

[Liz01]

I've voted for the name Tija

[lispet]

What happened to the egg? Is it broken by the stump in the middle of the nest?

[Peixatera]

Good morning to all.
I'm sorry. Bad news. It seems that the female left the nest tonight. The egg is under the straw, but it must be dead .

[Abigyl]

On first light, about 5 am, I saw that the nest was left, no visible egg.

Later I saw 1 and 2 birds, Don't know who was who. Both were very stressed.

Around 09:40 there were some flights of both to defend the territory.

I assume that the situation will be more clear during the day.

[Peixatera]

From chat:
4:05: an owl was in the nest.
5:05: the female arrives but she doesn't incubate the egg.
5:56 - 6:10: the egg is visible.
Later, Teo arrives with straw and covers the egg.

I think the female is young, scary and inexperienced. The season can be complicated. We have to be optimistic and hope that today she has learned the lesson.

13:35 They are protecting the nest, the third osprey is flying around

13:37 Mating

[Gavril]

Hello! Irma can only be pleases! Here again something with an egg! It was not viable? ...I didn't understand....
Hellem!

16: 49. Teo has arrived for mating. Tija remained deep in thought.

16: 56. Teo arrived with a bundle of hay.

[Gavril]

17: 11. Teo with a new pairing.

[Abigyl]

17:39 They saw the bird in the sky and left nest.

[Hellem]

Gavril , the egg was visible early in the morning, I read in chat that Teo brought a big bunch of hay later and covered the egg. The egg is now hidden in the nest bowl and since the morning the ospreys have not paid any attention to it anymore, such a sad story with this first egg

That's sad...Perhaps the egg was "empty" and the birds knew it.

[Gavril]

I went a little backwards. 17: 21. Teo has brought greater branch. The wind has created difficulties when landing...Immediately in nest of landed Tija. Then they together put this thread. 17: 28. Mating after close collaboration...then Teo brought the stick again.

[Abigyl]

I watched most of the morning; since early it was covered with hay,

After 9 they were very stressed, someone was in the sky.

At 09:42, she wasn't on nest, he was there alone, digging very deep. I saw the egg, it wasn't broken.
After he found it, he covered it again very fast, with much hay.

Than there were matings and a nice fish that she grabbed, and flew with.

[Jojo]

Sad to see that the egg has "disappeared"



Tija is her official name now ?

[Birdfriend]

What for sad news here.
20:32
Tija was on the nest, later she jumped to the cam support.
Egg is still invisible.

[Birdfriend]

21:14 Teo comes with an headless fish, the young lady comes from the cam too. But one minute later Teo left with his fish.
It is very windy at this time.


21:18 Tija is still alone on the nest, she is chirping a bit...

[Peixatera]

Good evening.
A question. How long is between a successful mating and the laying of eggs?

[Abigyl]

She can have 3 eggs; approx 3 days between 1st to 2nd etc.

[Cessie]

Liz01, wow! That was fast!
So sorry to read that the egg is buried.
It is still early so I’m sure that they will have more eggs!
Tija - nice name!
7:19 someone landed on the cam stand and the female is not happy!

[Gavril]

Morning! I turned on the computer and saw...7: 05. Tija then worked on the bowl. The impression that it is ready for laying the next egg.
