Estonian LSE formerly BS Nest


She left the nest for a short period -- returned and then there was a human visitor to work on the battery and she left the nest, maybe hopped higher into the tree for a while.

4:47 (?) Tuuli on the nest

7:26 eagles off the nest for a bit
7:27 Eagle returned (looks like Tuuli)


7:37 Remo delivered food -- a mammal, large and dark (mole?)-- Tuuli flew off to eat it elsewhere (this explains how Remo got to be sitting on the eggs)
viewtopic.php?p=99448#p99448

But at 7:56 Tuuli brought grass to the nest while Remo was on the eggs


11:13 Remo delivered food



19:16 Eggs were left alone for a few minutes

I want to propose a vote of thanks and a round of applause to Alice, who has taken on the Summary job while I am incovenienced.
Alice, you are a trooper.

Nest caught with and without an eagle

11:56 eagle returned

vainamoinen reported that eagle expert Ugjis confirmed that Mētra is now accompanied by a different male than earlier in the season

Cam was off for some portion of afternoon



then she preened and then sleep

If anyone notices I get the day wrong PLEASE let me know. Because my times are different, I cannot simply look at the post time and I fear I might get confused.

Early morning Tuuli in the nest calling



12:32 Another frog delivery

Remo rolled the eggs and sat with them for a few minutes (@20 minutes), flying off just before Tuuli arrived with a beak full of grasses.

13:16 Another frog delivery.
14:10 Another frog
15:41 Another frog

17:38 eggs alone for about 6 minutes

19:40 footsteps below the nest
20:03 Remo stopped by but Tuuli appeared to sleep through his visit.

At the snap of a twig she woke up and then did some serious preening before falling back asleep.

(my bias shows in image selection. the images I chose show the delivery of large frogs -- other deliveries tended toward smaller items. The large frogs are easier to see.)

Estonian LSE (BS)

This was a day for some members to count the number of frogs brought to the nest by Remo. He is a really good provider.
The general opinion is that a total of 14 frogs and one unidentifiable meal came to the nest.
Tulli is constant in her incubation duties, as Remo is constant as a good provider.
We have developed admiration for these two beautiful birds.

Estonian LSE.

This morning, Urmas posted on the Black Stork nest topic -

We are planning the replacement of power system 'brain', to exchange with Lesser Spoted Eagle system 'brain'. But can't say now, when it could happen - there is quite difficult logistic and we can act on place only in darkness (better some windy night). Also we need to take fresh batteries with (about 40kg each...).

It seems unlikey that we shall see chicks of any species on this nest, so it is a logical move!

Gosh, the adventures these Kotkaklubi members have!
