Good morning

3:56 Suvi brought new bed clothes to the nest. In other words, she brought some dry plant material and spread it in the nest. The eaglet lies on it now.

Konrad - thanks a lot for your careful analysis of the nest's structure! I didn't know - and maybe there were others as well, who didn't know the things you mentioned in the post

Early morning was wonderful! The eaglet is so active from the very beginning of daylight hours, when it's not too hot in the nest, but it's pleasant and there's a lot going on in the surroundings. Once again I have loads of screenshots from the morning but will have to make a compact post of them in order not to invade the forum with old material

Hellem! Thanks

Is there something wrong with eaglet´s right (left in the picture) leg? It looks swollen and "unnormal", or is it only because of the point of view?

Hi Marika. Yes, that is the point of view. When relaxed they often form a "fist" and then it looks thicker than the other talon.

19.45 short wing exercise


19.51 very careful preening

Good evening to all!

Do we have any information about ringing in this nest?

I remember that in the nest of Anna&Uku , ringing was, when the eaglets were about 5 weeks old...

poor english,sorry

20.20:

Suvi brings a Fir twig

20.23:

And then Sulev is here with a large bundle of something. He and Eaglet search a place for it in the nest.

20:23 Sulev landed with a fish? and a big bunch of straw

What is the name of the eaglet?

20.28 (both parents watching the brief wing-exercise)

21:01 Sulev flew away

21:51 The eaglet is preening and Suvi is sitting on the left branch, beautiful evening light

Hi Hellem, did you see a fish? I never saw it, thank you.

22.33:

Both asleep, good night

22:44 Suvi jumped to her favorite branch out of camera view

Timea , I'm not sure about the fish, when Sulev landed it seemed to me that there was a fish in the middle of the bunch of straw

Are they waiting for shadow before ringing the eaglet?

The eaglet is alone for quite long times, compared with the Anna and Uku nest. I'll take it as a good sign the parents trust this eaglet more.
