This is another nest of Lesser Spotted Eagles in Estonia.
According to Urmas it belongs to LSE male "Magnus" and his partner. We know Magnus as one of the tagged birds in the Birdmap http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/EN/

Magnus has two nests in this area, like this it is not possible to determine which of the nests the pair is going to use.
The nest is located in Tartumaa, Southern Estonia.

A word of caution to everyone since we have two chicks in this nest this year!

Lesser Spotted Eagles generally raise only one chick every year, even if a second egg is laid and a chick hatches from the egg. A collection of articles and papers about cainism/siblicide you find in the Aquila Pomarina Database:

Please remember:
The birds and animals in front of the webcams are animals in the wild, in their eternal struggle for survival. You have to be prepared for fight scenes with respective consequences! The operators of the cameras will very rarely interfere in nature's mundane hazards. The younger chick will not be taken out of the nest and set back later!

A Great spotted Woodpecker female visited the nest, looking for interesting insects





And how she hopped from the nest

Eagles arrived!



A second one arrived at the same time, but did not land on the nest.

Edit: looking through my screen shots, I got him!

Only minutes before they arrived I switched the recording on

18:45


So it was the female who was on the nest and Magnus the one who stayed upside I suppose ....

Hi, everyone!
i saw him too. Flew off at 20:05



i wanted to take a nap, and missed the arrival - he woke me up...
edit

There was another visit at 20:05 cam time




But you are right, the birds near the cam are singing so loud, it is difficult to hear the eagles. But I think I can also hear them from time to time a bit further away.
