Oh - this big dark prey is gone - so quickly!

About younger one - hate so say that but it's fate depends from one more thing (besiders weather and Eha’s way to treat it)
I searched a web today and found out about C a i n i s m - Cain and Abel syndrome - the killing of a nesting bird by a nestmate, always the first and oldest bird. It is most dramatic in eagles, especially Aquila.

Here is a bit more about Cainism w i t h i n t h e L e s s e r S p o t t e d E a g l e s p e c i e - seems like reliable source of information- scroll a bit down to see the Introduction -

Of course it doesn’t happen every nest - but it’s likely, and evidently Nature has it’s own reasons for that.

Eha is digging in the nest and re-arranging the green twigs before settling down again.

Given that Eha seems to sometimes eat instead of feeding Spotlet #1, Spotlet #1 might end up rather hungry at some point. I guess we will learn...

yarko, thanks for posting that link :2thumbsup: - that professional article was also recommended to me. The Introduction (and actually, all of the paper) is very interesting. I read the paper, but could not find the link this morning.

(and there are some nice color pictures of spotlets in there, too)

Good evening Everybody !

I have made a video about today's last feeding.

The very interesting part is the middle of the video.

Please watch it in HQ mode!
