Estonian Osprey Nest ~Mai & Mikk~ (P&M) DOCUMENTATION 2015

[Birdfriend]

12.15 I think the intruder is still in the nearby. 12:17 Mikk takes off. 12:18 In the moment is only one chick hungry.

12:01 - Only tips of tailfeathers and from talons, too high to see whether nosy Osprey wore rings or not

Thank you, Liz, for your work! It is great!

[Bea]

Forget my post about announcement of ringing, there is sound as if someone is climbing the nest tree!

Well, but the part about short-termed decisions seems to be true ...

[Bea]

15:43
Clack and crack from a climbing person

[Bea]

Oha, one of the chicks is not willing to play "dead"




But it changed its mind - now the other has its head up high ...




Both are flat now ...





15:51 - Osprey warning calls - worried parents

But it's good to hear them near. Lense is clean now!

[Bea]

Aiii ... what a clear view!





It is Urmas and a second person is on the ground.

[Bea]

Something can be heard in the egg .... swashing fluid or clacking?




Egg is picked up and in the container

[Bea]

First ring is CA





Second ring is CC




For the numbers I have to listen later, it was something with a double 3 I think

[Janne+Ais]

Second CC

[Luz4711]

The egg

The rings



16:12h still alarm calls.

Thank you Urmas for cleaning the lense and changing a bit the position of the cam. The left side can be seen now much better.
How small the nest is. Not enough room for four.

[Bea]

16:31
CA and CC flat on the nest and both still breathing fast, they will still need a bit time to calm down.



Well done, little osprets!

I hope we will get some more infos later, maybe also a guess about their genders.
