Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis 2016: Observations

14:13:40 she flew away

Ame, It is so big, that I thought, it must be a girl.
Robert is a beautiful, strong eagle man. The girls love him.

[ame]

i now have videos of the strange eagle. they overlap almost a minute but i'm too lazy to trim the videos. mostly it just stood on the nest and looked around the forest, especially in the latter part.



also i get a crush on every male eagle daddy.

[ame]

i heard eagle's calls twice from here, too.
14:58 before the first time a big bird flew over the forest to the left. this was probably not an eagle because it looked very dark. the wing beat was rather slow though... eagle or not?


15:00 distant eagle's calls together with a loud airplane.


15:10 the second time it sounded like a female voice, preceded a buzzard (i think).

[ame]

15:32 probably the same un-ringed eagle as earlier arrived. it is looking around suspiciously...

and calls. it is a she, i think.
i guess it is also the eagle whom i heard calling earlier.

[ame]

is someone upstairs?? i was away for a few minutes so i saw only this eagle arriving..? or is the rustling from the Estonian nest?

she looked up and called again.

[ame]

i think there were three eagles!

the young female is back and now two other eagles (male and female??) called in the forest.

[Trine]

I just came from outside and what was happening could perhaps be described as what Ame calls "flying circus"
Seriously, I understand nothing

[ame]

there are three eagles!

and finally a slim male in and called.

this was Robert.

[ame]

he flew away and there were still calls in the forest.

15:43 someone landed above camera.. then hoarse ka-ka-ka from above.

then bright calls from forest. two eagles there?

was the strange female Lady after all??

[Trine]

I also think that there were two calling at the distance + one near the cam.

[ame]

a ringed young Lithuanian?? black year ring.

two eagles flew away??

L0?1 reads the code. maybe L011??

15:47 out it flew.


edit: i made a very slow-motion close-up clip of the young Lithuaninan' rings. it in 1/16th of normal speed. i think it is clear the the code is L0?1.

[ame]

is there still someone above the camera? or have all gone away? there is some rustling...

15:49 yes, one more eagle flew away from the tree top.


well, this was interesting!

[Liz01]

Robert? two eagle lands in the nest. both unringed

I forgot to push the button

[Hellem]

15:52 A couple, two adult WTEs without rings.

[ame]

an adult couple both without rings.

and the male has very similar tail spots as Robert. if it is Robert his foot has healed.

the female flew away. the male stays (or vice versa).
edit: it was vice versa. the male flew away and the female stayed.


this is very interesting.

[Liz01]

there is a new branch in the nest

it isn't Robert

We have seen FIVE eagles on the nest... Three subadults (one of them with rings) and the couple of adults that still stands on the top of the tree.

I hate "headless" eagles

But I'm not getting tired watching it...
