Good Morning !

I don't know if it's perfect, but the picture is nice and gives hope.

I expected to find some greenery in nest

[ame]

good morning!

i have a video of the mating this morning. it perhaps was complete but it's difficult to say.


i'll make other clips later.

10:30

11:37 two swans flew from the right to have a look at the pond.


... but then they just flew back.

[ame]

i have now more clips from this morning.

6:44 the eagles came, first Ansis, then Egle.


6:49 Egle came.

[ame]

after the mating they stayed on their branches for a while.
6:58 Egle flew out.


after a while she came back possibly with a tiny piece of stick. if she had something it was so small that it's difficult to see... i think she had something.

[ame]

then again they just stayed there, Ansis on the branch and Egle on the nest...
7:07 Ansis flew away.




Egle flew after him 10 s later.

[ame]

10:29 both arrived practically at the same second. Ansis landed on the nest and Egle on the top branch.


10:32 Egle flew out.


Ansis followed right after her.

[ame]

10:32 Egle returned with a stick.


a little later Ansis landed on the tree top. Egle looked up at him.


10:35 Egle flew away.


after she had vanished behind the pond Ansis flew away from the tree top and followed her. i noticed this in the video almost by accident and then i rewound the video to find out when he had come.

[ame]

12.53 two swans flew over the meadow again.

[ame]

13:32 the two swans flew by quite quietly for a change.




they flew so quickly that i made a slow-slow motion clip of them. this is probably in 1/9 of slow motion.
i'm not sure... i made a slow motion of a slow motion.

[ame]

16:23 raven voices and eagle calls. the wind has become so loud that it's difficult to hear.

[ame]

an Estonian eagle with all-black year ring made a brief visit.
it had its rings in wrong feet: the country ring was on the left foot and the black ring in the right.
oh no it was a Latvian eagle after all: the right ring had blue over black but it looked all black. the year ring has same colours as the Estonian ring : blue over white. the letter was C and i think that there was number 0 after it. or was it 6?
anyway a C-bird is ringed in 2010, like Anna in the Estonian nest.
edit: i made a mistake here: Anna was ringed in 2009.


normal video:


slow motion close-up (1/4 of normal speed):


this fellow was new here.
i have to go....
