Estonian Tawny Owl Webcam 2015

[Birdfriend]

22:57 Klaara out, three chicks in the nestbox. 22:59 Klaara back.

Is the 4. chick died? I was not here for one hour.

[Owlie]

Is it really so cruel - that if no other food is available the youngest chicks go?

[asteria]

That really is cruel and the same thing happens almost every year: two last chicks become food for others.

[Birdfriend]

Sometimes the nature is cruel. It is so difficult this to understand.

[Hellem]

23:26 - Klaara gets out of the box - there are still four owlets

Yes, the little one is visible now, but is not moving much, the 3 others are active.

23:33 The little one is not visible again.

[Maggy]

23:33 Klaara is out

[Bea]

23:32 - Klaara gets out of the box again

23:34 - Back with a frog, not very good to see but there are dangling frog legs

[Birdfriend]

23:33 Klaara again out. The children must be very hungry.

[Maggy]

[Bea]

At least two of them are not permanently asking food, having their heads turned towards the wall of the box - so hunger must be not that big

What was it - third or fourth frog now? And it is not yet midnight.

[putnihe]

23:34 don't know what she brought
but she is feeding

It was a frog again

[Hellem]

What was it - third or fourth frog now? And it is not yet midnight.

I think that fifth frog from Klaara and at 15:37 was a mouse from Klaus.

[Bea]

Thank you!

This is not too little food for my opinion. We have 00:02 Estonian time now, to keep a sense of proportion.

Everybody is quiet and fed in the box now.
