14:57 an eagle!
a Latvian with a ring. H4-something-4.


this eagle was not afraid of the camera.


15:01:20 a buzzard flew over the nest and meowed at the eagle.

[ame]

the tail was whiter than the tail of the eagle yesterday.

[ame]

this is not the same eagle as yesterday evening.

[ame]

15:56 she/he pooped on the nest.

[ame]

16:05 the eagle flew away.




i made some pictures later.

[ame]

21:14 a blackbird came to sing quite near the microphone.


22:50 again a blackbird singing nearby.

2 LAT rings !!
I already forgot how rings looked.

Where is "MY" ring ?? Where are you Angelina during 6 years??

June 19

good morning!

4:04 a blackbird sang near the nest. this time he flew up and showed himself.

[ame]

4:58 - 5:01 a bumblebee flew above and around the nest.

[ame]

8:33 a blackbird flew to a branch behind the kingfisher and began to sing...
8:41 a blue tit came to collect feathers. the blackbird is still singing...
the blue tit took a huge bunch of feathers, almost her own size. i wonder how she can see where she is flying with that lot.
the light was very bad.




8:44 the blackbird came up.

[ame]

8:45 the blackbird came up to the nest.




then two of them flew away. - i couldn't get the two in one picture.

[ame]

10:19 an eagle sneaked in while i looked the other way. the eagle flew high in the top left corner.
Latvian ring. i can't see the code but the colours are Latvian.


the tail looks white. only tips of some feathers have dark spots.


she was looking up in the sky...

[ame]

the tail spots look the same as the eagle had yesterday, big, clear and heart-shaped.

[ame]

10:26:53 something crashed on the top. before that the eagle looked in the sky for a while.

then another eagle dropped on the nest and the first eagle kicked him out.


the second eagle had a ring, too. the ring doesn't look so clear in the still picture, but to me the colours looked Latvian on this ring, too.


she has an admirer.

[ame]

the other eagle didn't leave. he climbed up the outer left branch. i think he has a ring, too.




- i have no idea who is a male and who a female but i guess that the eagle on the nest is a female.

[ame]

both began to preen...

[ame]

10:52 the first eagle on the nest lay down.

[ame]

11:11 the eagle got up on the nest.
she preened...
11:14 lay down again.


11:34 she got up again and began to preen.

[ame]

11:44 the second eagle jumped to the top branch. he clearly has a ring which is much wider than his ankle. it's a male.
this one-size-fits-all eagle ring is made for females. the ring is big enough for girls. for boys it's too big.


he jumped to the poop branch.

[ame]

then down to the nest. the female (the first eagle) pushed him out in a short and silent "fight".




it was not a real fight. they are clearly a dating couple and she is playing hard-to-get.
