At 13:58 she also brought a vole.
Thank you for you opinion about this food from 14:06, my first thought was a slowworm

I always wondered why the female never brought food to the nest but only nesting material.
Now it seems something has changed. I wonder what. I only can think of the male doing not enough now the chick needs more to eat. On the other hand in 2016 I established that the young Buzzards did not get more food items with age but less.

Because they usually last no more than some 10 seconds the deliveries by the male are easy to miss but with 5 deliveries you probably have not missed much.

19:28 The eaglet finds a prey (I don't know who and when brought it) in the nest and tries to eat it
19:35 Tried to swallow it in one piece but it's too big, now I saw the prey is a big vole

19:38 The eaglet managed to swallow the vole :thumbs:

EDIT: The vole brought Tõnn at 19:21, thank you Fleur :wave:

So everyone knows why the female is hunting too now. :whistling:
The eaglet is always hungry and the more it gets the bigger it becomes and the more it needs . . . :mrgreen:
