Estonian white-tailed sea eagle nest camera 2018

I thought it was just me! It's been a day of poop.

As for the swans, we're watching evolution in action.

The swans have so many offspring because most of them will become food. This is nature’s way. Without the eagles there would be too many swans.

About 22:54 Suvi came home for the night and brought a small spruce twig with her

Good Morning!

Thank you for all the very nice pictures and interesting comments

3:45 early morning - both are sleeping


3:55 Suvi turns on the branch and flew away




Sulvi woke up for a moment and then tucked her head under the wing again.

[Liz01]

4:25 approx- Sulvi has returned with something in her claws. Shortly before, Sulev flew off. He was at the right side

Prey brought into the nest:
In an eagle's nest in America, a red tail Hawk was brought into the nest as prey. Later he was fed like a chick of his own. he was fledges successfully. The videos can be found at Christian Sasse-youtube. He is a photographer and has documented it.
This also can happen in white-tailed eagles nest. It is documented that they brought a buzzard and feed him, when enough food is available. The buzzard fledges also succesfully.
I'm not know, what the buzzard think who is he. A eagle or a buzzard.

Good morning, Liz and everyone else! Thank you Liz for the pictures and reports.

Those happenings in a bald eagle nest were really unbelievable. There were (and probably still are) some photos of the hawklet being fed by eagles and later branching also in this forum, in the thread Other Webcams / Eagles. There were different theories first, like a female hawk having been brought to the nest and having laid an egg before losing her life. But later it was really said to have happened as you told.

Hard to imagine an eagle bringing a small - still light-grey - hawklet to the nest, then watching it for a while and saying to three already quite big eaglets: ”Listen kids, this tiny hawklet looks quite nice. Let’s vote, if we eat it or start to feed it.”

Good Morning Konrad you're welcome

Interesting, that some birds of prey raising up chicks of another species have been documented already in the 1970’s.

Many thanks, Liz, for this extraordinary article.

Good day

At 9.05 Sulvi discovered a place where she could get a grip with her talons and she showed us the power she really has.
It was an impressive exercise! So much power and confidence.

Thanks a lot for those interesting informations!

That way they can bring up a nest full of Mute Swans (if the nest is strong enough).

heavy thick raindrops. The little eagle in her bedroom? I only hear the soft voice.

[erja]

Oh, it's raining so much Where is momy to cover the little?

[Timea]

10.35:

Sulvi does not like all these wet things falling from above



Hiding for it in here

[Konrad]

I was already scared, as the nest seemed to be empty, but Sulvi has only escaped the rain and wind to her bedroom.

11.41:

Aaaawwwww :-)

[Sylvika]

The Little is Big enough in the rain.
But Sulvi's "nest", which means the sticks, is very slippery now.
Ouhh, let's see. But this rain might last longer?

[Eike]

Do not hear her voice any more. Hope all good.
5 min. later, saw he little head in her bedroom and soft voice, oh am glad.
All will become well.
