Latvian WTE nest webcamera: Juras-Erglis 2014

[Owlie]

It seems that Lubana feeds the chick #1 about once in an hour - at least last hours it has been regular

And NOW she at least offers food for both of them

[ame]

17:02 - 17:08 feeding:
that long thing with clumps looked like a backbone.


both babies are eating.

[Janne+Ais]

maybe Sartas found remains of some dead bird?

Hopefully nothing poisoned! (As it happened here some months ago.)

[ame]

i have heard talking ... and then footsteps...

then more talking... Lubana looked worried.


then she fled the nest.

babies are alone.

[Owlie]

Lubana flew away and left the chicks on their own!


Edit:
chicks are chirping ...

[ame]

now they are walking closer to the nest. men's voices.

[ame]

i think the men are gone now but how long will it take before Lubana dares come back...

[ame]

crow's voices..........


then some eagle's warning calls. these are the kind of calls which they give about humans.

17:03 Feeding

[Owlie]

then some eagle's warning calls. these are kind of calls which they give about humans.

Those calls came from nearby, fortunately ....

[Janne+Ais]

ame, your video is private.

[Hellem]

I hear a machine(tractor?) working in forest

[ame]

Janne+Ais, is it ok now? i tend to forget to publish them.

Hellem, to me it sounded like a motorboat's engine, but i don't know. i just hope those men went away!

i think i heard some eagle's warning again at about 17:50. i think (= hope) that Lubana is hiding somewhere not very far.

[ame]

a woodpidgeon began koo rather near the nest... and i think the engine sound is going further and further.

[ame]

a crow is grrr'ing too near to my taste.

[Britta]

sartas comes

[ame]

Sartas came HOME!


all is ok.



after Sartas came the where loud flute-like whistles. i think it was a curlew calling (not singing).
i suppose the sounds in this video are misplaced again.
today there has been so much excitement that it has been almost too much for my bloodpressure.
i'd be quite happy with less.

[Owlie]

a crow is grrr'ing too near to my taste.

Lubana heard it, too, thank god she is back


Oh is it Sartas?
He is the hero of the day

[Janis Kuze]

This moment was a bit stressful, Sartas came in just a right moment..
the problem is that nest is located not far away from the shore of the lake and this is the beginning of the boating season.

Congratulations to Latvia. It's nice to see there are now two chicks in the nest of Sartas and Lubana .
