Estonian white-tailed sea eagle nest camera 2019
Welcome to the Estonian white-tailed sea-eagle 2019 topic!
Here we shall (hopefully) follow the nest life of a pair of white-tailed sea-eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla, WTE's for short). In the first posts you will find some information about the nest, its location and surroundings, and its inhabitants. Also some other relevant information will be given. Some posts are reserved for further information.
Camera links
The camera and transmission of the stream are powered with solar panels which charge batteries. If there is not enough sunlight to provide enough current to the batteries then the camera will turn off. Therefore streaming stops in the dark time (both in the winter and in nights).
Streaming in Youtube:
(not in a regurlar address in the winter)
The Youtube stream can be played and recorded with for example Potplayer and VLC-player. Open the stream in the player with the above address.
Note! The Youtube stream was changed on 10 Jan 2019 so that the normal Potplayer and VLC cannot receive the stream anymore.
A few days later a new way to use Potplayer was discovered. It will be described in the link below:

The overal use of Potplayer is discussed here:
Youtube address may sometimes change.
