It seems like Kalev has left the nest and the tree this morning. It is possible he won´t return to the nest anymore.Maxie4Paws wrote: Good Morning / afternoon.

kärp ja nirk: Mustela ereminea et nivalis
Mustela ereminea-hermelin (lumikko, kärp)- 16-29cm, 100-450g
Mustela nivalis- weasel (kärppa, nirk)- 15-25cm, 70-130g
(I put the names in finnish and in estonian too, because there is always confusion between these two relative languages. Exactly the same or similar words, but a completely different or the same meaning.)
Both have with white belly brown summer coat and a white winter coat. Hermelin (stoat) and weasel are very similar between the animals of the same diet and habitat. Appearance can discriminate between them by the tail tip. Hermelin tip of the tail seems to be dipped in black color pot, which becomes particularly pronounced in winter white fur coat. But a weasel tail is same color as the rest of the body. There is also a stoat larger, although not significantly, rather than implicitly. Stoat and weasel have spread all over Estonia and is a regular anywhere.
Already in ancient times, has been to say: if there is a hermelin or weasel may be domestic cat to sleep peacefully, because mice are not more concerned about.
Pontu picture 10 august 16-59 tip of tail seems brown.

I also remember, that 2009 they eat at least 2 weasel and when the season was over then one weasel came to inspecting the nest.
(Koit old nest about 50m or 70m away).
Maybe Kalev spend some time at Spot nest too
Mik's parents this year have brought to the nest about 5 weasels. They would probably have extirpated a whole weasel family.

11:04 Eha in the nest.
Is it a normal thing that is no any connection between Eha and Kalev after Kalev flew away only 3 or 5 ours ago?

I have the same problem. Only after 3 or 5 hours after fledging Eha didn't know where is Kalev. Parents and chicks are very loud usually, but now there was a big silence in the nest for one hour.tweed wrote:

I think Kalev and his parents have been very quiet all the time. At least compared to the other 2 LSE nests.
I´m going to keep the camera open... just in case. :peek: It would be so nice to see Kalev, even one more time.

katsik, Lussi05 I haven´t heard anything, but it´s hard to hear something special when there are too many cams open.
