Lesser Spotted Eagles - Magnus and Maia Estonia 2019

[Lussi05]

It seems the whole system is down since 14.38.

Hello, and thank you for today`s pictures and reports, Mary Jane, Timea and IceAge

Now at ca 16:25, camera time, I have no camera

[IceAge]

I have no cameras also.

[Mary Jane]

Yes, the camera site is still down. I don't know who to ask for information.

[Felis silvestris]

It seems all streams are down, I have asked, but am not sure about the answer. According to the message all streams except Black Storks are working again, but I am also not able to open any camera, through none of the various ways.

[Mary Jane]

Same here, Felis silvestris. The pontu.eenet.ee site is still not opening. In YouTube I see the nests until 14.38 when everything stopped and that's it. I really hope the stream will come back today.

[IceAge]

Thank you, Felis.
It is a warm evening and I go outside and check back later.

[Felis silvestris]

Streams are back, and all is well on the nest, Maia is preening the not anymore so little one.

[Mary Jane]

Thank you for the good news about the stream being back on and that all is well!

July 21

Good morning!

The eaglet has been alone since 4.11, when Maia left.
5:52 Maia comes back.
5:54 she shows the eaglet a rodent that has been in the nest all along.


Eaglet takes it right away and swallows, but the rodent is not going down easily.


So at 5:56 eaglet lets it come out again (as pictured) and then swallows it again.


5:58 Maia leaves the nest.

[Mary Jane]

7:32 Eaglet does wing exercises. I couldn't get a good picture, but you can see that she is already jumping quite high at times.


7:33 Maia comes with a beautiful green branch. She is trying to decide where to put it and does some work in the nest. (Picture taken 7:34)


7:35 eaglet is playing with Maia's feathers - maybe wants to preen her - and Maia leaves the nest.


8:14 Magnus brings a rodent, eaglet eats quickly.

[Mary Jane]

8.24 Magnus brings a rodent.


Eaglet is not hungry and lies down on the rodent at 8.25.

She is half-asleep until 9.03 (picture 8.59)


9.03 she wakes up and takes a few bites from the rodent. Still not quite hungry.

[Lussi05]

Good morning

09:51 - A bird landet on a branch higher up at first, it was Magnus with a prey to the eaglet. The eaglet doesn`t seem hungry. He didn` try to eat it.


I think I hear a Golden Oriole now and then?

[IceAge]

Hello ,
11:02
the chick takes the mole, but it is too hard work and the chick put the mole in the nest again.

[Lussi05]

11:19 - It`s a hot day, I could hear the eaglet breathing/panting. It`s difficult to find a good/cooler place to stay in the nest.


Two visible preys in the nest, and lots of flies..


IceAge

[Timea]

everyone, good day!
11.41

Eaglet already is hot......


11.44
Trying to get some fresh air beneath her wings :-)

[Lussi05]

13:47 - Wing exercise




At least it`s shade in the nest now

[Lussi05]

16:00 - Magnus with prey.




The eaglet is calling, but has not eaten, yet. Right before Magnus arrived, a LSE was calling and the eaglet answered. I think it must have been Maia, because the call came from another direction.

[Timea]

16.00
Magnus (correction, thanks Lussi :-)) brings a nice large rodent.

[Timea]

16.09

Seems too large to swallow and impossible to tell if it is "opened" yet. Eaglet has to work to get it down.

16.13
Eaglet gives last prey a new place, but does not eat it. Last prey probably is a Mole, a grey one is still there too, from earlier.

[Lussi05]

16:07 - IF Maia is around it`s about time to come in the nest and feed the eaglet. She is hungry now. She`s trying to eat the mole. Please, not so close to the edge! It`s lots of food lying in the nest it seems. Maybe try something easier than a mole? If it is the mole


Timea

16:15 - No eating, wing exercise instead.
