21:32 Female lands, is digging the nest bowl

21:37 Down on the nest bowl again, 21:38 up again, 21:43 down again
21:53 She is still on the nest bowl, will she lay an egg
21:58 She stands up, digs a bit the nest bowl
22:01 Is standing and watching the nest bowl
22:02 She is pressing
22:03:37 There it is - the egg
22:05 She rolls and covers the egg
22:14 She rolls the egg
22:28 She is sleeping

IceAge , you wrote yesterday: For the tasty frogs, she could lay an egg sometime , now we have the result

[IceAge]

Hellem, you are great . I did not expect an egg.
What is your opinion? I think the female is Tiiu

[Hellem]

IceAge, it seems to me that it is not Tiiu, Tiiu built a much higher nest with a very deep nest bowl, there was no egg to be seen at all. This nest ( the new branches, sticks etc.) looks more as LSE nest

EDIT: but I may be wrong and it's really Tiiu, she is very similar to Tiiu, I also didn't expect an egg, it's very late now, april 23 in 2020

We will see:
LSE - hatching period ca 35 days, the eaglet is able to fly at the age of 51-55 days
GSE - hatching period 42-45 days, the eaglet is able to fly at the age of 60-65 days

Hellem, you are right, it is not clearly Tiiu.
Let's call them male and female and hope that a healthy chick hatches from the egg.

Hello! Wow! This whole time I've been watching thinking Tiiu got another great partner and this is a whole new couple! I am so sorry about Tonn. Poor fella. I am so glad I was able to watch last year to see Tonn and Tiiu raise a beautiful eaglet. I hope Tiiu will find another mate and go on to have more eaglets. I am excited about this new couple and look forward to an eaglet in a month or so! I would love to see some comparison shots of Tiiu and the new female. Do you think you will name the new couple and eaglet? Again, I am so excited. Thank you for your detailed recording of the nest events and for providing the live feed to watch.

Are there recordings automatically done?

Usually you can rewind the YT stream for 12h by using the "red ribbon". Then record the video via screen recorder (Windows has Xbox Game Bar e.g.) or use some special programs.

Hello everyone!
16.37 The female arrived with a large branch. The male flew away.



IceAge! I'm just shocked by what is happening! It seemed that there would be nothing in this nest this year, and suddenly - the Egg !!!

[Moira]

What an eventful year it is. We can only hope that the eagles know something we don't, or this won't be too happy story. But it will be definitely interesting to see how the things turn out, whatever happens.
