No fishi for me???

Janis said that he didn't weigh the eaglet because they know the age. only the ring and a feather from the breast for DNA analysis.


the feather in an envelope.


it's a shame that he didn't measure the leg though and give us a guess which one Durberts is: a boy or a girl.
anyways, seeing Durberts fighting back and waving wings like that i think it was best not to do anything else. there is the danger that a big eaglet like Durberts might jump out of the nest.

thank you Janis and crew!

here's video:

i made a slightly shorter video. this begins from the lens cleaning.

Thank you for the information, Ame. That was really neat watching this. Did Janis say anything about the nest being fragile? I was worried for him and Derberts. Sometimes it looks like there's not many branches supporting the nest.

Proud of little Derberts...he was a brave eaglet. So cute and curious. I hope parents come soon.

i didn't understand what Janis what talking, only the parts when he spoke English for us.
have a look at the pictures of the nest tree on the first page. to me this looks like a very safe nest.

I was thinking about the smell of the old fish...

Thank you Janis and crew!

they are still banging there. now the climbing rope is pulled out of the tree.

now i realize that Durberts has a tail. when did that grow? last night?
a great tit came to have a look at the new ring.

First visitor after the event. A great tit

[MarshaMay]

Okay, I'll take a look! Thank you.

Yes, glad everything went great!

[Felis silvestris]

I just about managed to get everything, when I arrived at work and opened the cam, Janis' head turned up

Finally again a good view and I think right in the end he also took off the monster cone!
Durberts behaved very brave!

[Kinga83]

It was interesting to see the live ringig! I am bit envious, this is a good job, although climbing the tree would be my problems
Thank you Janis and crew
But we still do not know girl or boy

But we still do not know girl or boy

We will soon! Janis took a feather to test.

Perfect! Direct contact with the nest from 7.19 till 7.34 ... TY, TY, TY....

[Liz01]

Durberts looks after his new ring

[Abigyl]

Ame, Tail was under the cloud

[ame]

a crack/bang. and the tree swang a little? did a parent land on the tree?

edit: i looked this up. it was not a parent. i think Durberts would have greeted a parent.
instead i found out that at 8:09 a branch straightened and tension was released on the lower right side of the nest. the branch must have gone in a 'wrong' place when Janis climbed up and down.

I think a parent

the ringing went very quickly. Janis has Durberts prepares not unnecessary stress.

It was very good. Thank you Janis
