8:58 a small mouse (4. mouse) . I think it is Anna?
8:59 Anna flew off. Perle is still calling.
9:00 Anna must still nearby. Perle can't stop calling
9:01 :laugh:

9:02 it seems, that Anna is hunting again. Perle is happy. She went on her left branch.

I'm now riding my bike into the valley of the lesser spotted eagle. Camera is included .. maybe I'll be lucky and can take a few pictures. Unfortunately, like all eagles, they see you before you see them :mrgreen:

22:03 Anna arrived on nest with the 19th mouse.
Pērle was heard far. Anna waited a bit but we heard branch noises as Pērle was trying to go to the nest- maybe she missed it and dropped down as we heard wings and Anna seemed to watch down before flying off.
I wonder if Pērle fledged out of view in the afternoon ?
Well she sure isn’t starving tonight and we will probably see her tomorrow :loveshower:
Good night Andris, Anna and Pērle - stay safe !

22:03 Anna with food

Delivery at 18:08:20

Image

A handsome young (well-fed!) eagle, from the previous delivery reported by Liz01.

Image

22:03:05 Andris (not Anna as I wrote originally - thanks Liz01) drops down onto the nest from directly above (unusual entry) with a furry snack in his beak.

He dropped the mouse, stood a while whilst Perle (likely?) sounded off at a distance from the nest. Whoever it was, none appeared at the nest and Andris departed out the rear to her favourite tree.

19 mice in the day, I believe the last one makes the total.

Darkness drew down on an empty nest. Will Perle scramble home again in the dark one wonders?

​6:02 Pērle finished breakfast and jumped to branch

yesterday ... only a buzzard. he caught a mouse standing in the air like a kestrel. He took the mouse with him. I didn't think they were still feeding. He was so tired that I could only tell from his head that it must be a buzzard. Beak yellow and black - exactly like the LSE.
he was very far away

Andris -
I noticed the bright spot on his wing from the start. the white feathers on his belly are another characteristic. And of course it's easy to see when you see his profile.
