Well, then I am all alone against you all....awww, how sad :rotf:


I´m pretty new at this forum, but I´ve been following pretty closely the cam- I did not see Uno fly neither :unsure: So, you´re not the only one. Hopefully Martha will have some nice shots for us tomorrow/today :wave:

Good night everybody :loveshower:


Hi alli, I forgot to say hello to you yesterdy :blush:

I missed it yesterday, but this morning I had the opportunity to watch a similar scene - wing exercises (S8), then only two chicks in the nest. With the utmost probabilty this was no maiden flight, because every now and then a wing tip or tail tip was visible. I post some pictures and a video later. Maybe Macko has recorded the "big moment" yesterday?

Hello!
This time transmitter looks like this you can find on page here:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=2160

They are going to give it to adult bird, not on the nest. There will be kind of trap on the ground where they are fishing, I think.

Then I am going to say goodbye to you all!!!

Not because I am not having it my may, but because it makes me very, very depressed to see a bird like this :cry:

I really can not watch a bird with an antenna on its back, it is so demeaning.

So, goodbye to you all, I wish you all the best!!!! :wave:

Now I checked the videos from this morning and I´m puzzled. S8 disappears at about 0:18 in this clip, but the tail tip is still visible until 1:00. Then the wing tip is in the picture and then, 8:43… maiden flight? Or not? Difficult to say. He/she was visible (came back?) again two minutes later at 8:45.

S8 disappears for two minutes


8:42 S9 ist doing some wing exercises, tail-tip of S8 still visible in the background

8:43 Wing-tip, S8

8:43 Maiden flight? Or not?

8:45 Back

I think that (like yesterday) he was just jumping en lay a while on a invisible spot(for the camera) at the nest :nod:

I tend to think the same, but it´s hard to say when we can´t see it. When he/she was visible again, there was no noise - so probably you´re right and it was no landing. I really would like to be there now. It must be so interesting to see their first attempts to discover the world. :headroll:

I've made a video from the little flight of Uno today at 11:15.
It is made with screenshots only and it is my first try :blush: . Also most of the landing is missing, but you can see that Uno was in the air for about 2 seconds or longer.

Thank you, Kukelke, for this really good post! In order to prepare the habitat the birds need, we have to know more about them and their life, how they migrate, when and where, what are the dangers (sadly enough human being is the greatest danger nowadays on their long migration). A transmitter is a good way to learn more about them, if they come back to the area where they are born etc. Ringing them is a small part as well.
I don't think that Urmas, who really loves "his eagles" would ever harm them! Juta already posted a link to the picture of the new smaller transmitters they are going to use, and I don't think they will be that disturbing! And - additionally - we will be able to follow such birds on the Migration Map in autumn.

I have seen this transmitters for storks a few times and watch the routes they are flying each year. It is done from the most popular nature community here in Germany, called NABU.
They have done this with some kind of birds also, white tailed eagles, red kites and so on.


This is true, Birdie, and some of the most valuable information came from a White Stork called "Prinzesschen" (if I remember the name correctly) who flew with the transmitter for many years and when she finally died of old age and exhaustion in South Africa, the bird and transmitter were found and the people in Germany informed.
As far as I know, raptor specialist B.-U. Meyburg is at the moment busy putting transmitters on LSE in North Germany, and a lot of the facts we know about LSE come from "his" birds!

Hi Maertha,

I too saw this happen but do not believe it was a flight. I think S8 just moves to part of the nest that is not covered by the cam, has happened a few times recently.

Wonder if if can get the cam zoomed out a notch so we can see that part of the nest?
