Latvian WTE nest webcamera: Juras-Erglis 2014

[Owlie]

was that sound of Lubana's wings? a moment ago i thought i saw someone flying across the back.

I saw a wing flap, too, and heard the sound

17:31
Sartas flew off again, not only to the balcony ...
the smaller one did not get any food???

17:32
wing flapping ...

17:34
a bird moving near the microphone ...

[ame]

Am I right that he feeds first the older one and only starts to feed the smaller one after the oldest is satisfied?

i think they'll stuff food in the nearest beak as long as it is beeping and opening. when the first gets enough it will close its mouth. hopefully the smaller still begs for food at that point.
-but now it seems that Sartas stopped before that. Lubana came somewhere near and Sartas left. then Lubana sneezed: toot!

one baby has its crop full.

now big wings left. Lubana did not come in to continue feeding.

an eagle flew around the nest in the back. someone is flying around there...

[ame]

again i saw someone flying in the backround. and again. strange...?

in the meanwhile kids had a match of Crecro-Roman wrestling.

and again someone flies.. and kicked the back branch!
what's the meaning of this??

there's a regular flying circus going on.

[lianaliesma]

17.37 what was that? like somebody was knocked down above the nest...

[Owlie]

again i saw someone flying in the backround. and again. strange...? ...and again someone flies.. and kicked the back branch!
what's the meaning of this??

I think it is a smaller bird flying around, someone with white - a gull is not usually as silent ...

The chicks are wrestling - the smaller one must be hungry and angry - for a good reason

[Britta]

i see no second bird, only the circling eagle

[ame]

i see an eagle too.
the is the branch-kick is half-speed slowmotion.


i think it had to be Lubana.
but why this demonstration?

[ame]

is it over now? i wish Lubana would come home... could she be frustrated with the disturbances there have been?
who knows eagle psycology?

no, still some flapping of big wings.

[ame]

18:01 i heard big wings coming and some landing.

about a minute later big wings flew away... and again a minute later sound of big wings.

i think i hear raindrops, too. rain is just what is missing.

again i saw an eagle flying across the background.

[ame]

big wings ... and then crow's voices....

[ame]

again an eagle's fly-by. i managed to capture the tip of the tail.

[Owlie]

18:10
someone flew out

[ame]

someone landed quite next to camera. nearly knocked it down when it left.

then some argueing with crows.

[Bea]

Are they chasing someone? If they were frightened, they would leave, but all "action" is around the nest area.

[ame]

someone flew over the nest from right and above.

kids are boxing. .. and then some Creco-Roman again.

Bea, yes this sounds like chasing someone away, someone not worth even calling (?)

[Owlie]

Are they chasing someone? If they were frightened, they would leave, but all "action" is around the nest area.

Is it possible that all the disturbance today is NOT caused by any human but by some birds?

[ame]

my guess would be that this is caused by some 'natural' reason, not humans. i don't think they would make such a display for humans.

Sartas is back!
he brought more hay. new diapers.
sorry! no hay but Sartas it was.

[Owlie]

Sartas is back! ... new diapers.

Long live Sartas!

[ame]

it came to my mind that maybe it was some 4-legged predator, pine marten or such. we didn't hear any bird's voices, except crows. for crows they would sit tightly on chicks, wouldn't they, like Lubana did for a few days back.

[Liz01]

so beautiful that Sartas is here again
