Introduction on LK main page in English: http://www.looduskalender.ee/n/en/node/1230
Nest is located in South Estonia, Tartumaa, not far from a fish farm. Natural river and ponds are in vicinity, too.
Resident couple in 2016 were Irma (U5) and Ivo (ED).
Three eggs were laid, but one got lost when Irma took off from the nest and the egg was still stuck in her chest feathers, it fell into the nest rim.
Two remaining eggs hatched, but the smaller chick was blown off from the nest in a storm, one week after it had hatched.
So only one ospret was raised, it got the name Ivar (RR).
Irma, the constant of this nest, in the morning sun of 29. April 2016
