Looduskalender

the sun has just set at Lake Lubans and the camera has not shown any life signs. let's hope tomorrow will be the day.

good night!

Thursday June 5th

there's still no camera... i wish Janis is doing ok there.

Hello
i hope very much the cam works again
Yesterday i saw 3 WTE on the Baltic Sea. I was so happy there were two young and an older eagles. without my binocular i wold not be able to see them, only when the fly. This was a very good Day for my- my greates whis - WTE in the Sky
Sorry it is OT

Liz, you were so lucky to see those eagles!

here it doesn't look very promising: no camera so far and it's nearly 5 pm.

We haven't any news about ringing and situation with camera in our local forum so far.

it's past sunset at Lake Lubans now. after sunset it becomes dark rather quickly so it's no use waiting any longer tonight... still there's no camera. i hope everything is otherwise ok. at least the weather was fine there today. for tomorrow rain is expected. i hope that we'll hear some news tomorrow.

good night!

Latest news from our forum. Janis will go to ring juveniles and try to repair the cam in the end of this week.

Fine, thanks again, Väinämöinen! I was hoping that would be the case so we have still hope!


BTW isn't it already "end of this week" ....?

this is a link which leads to a Twitter message:

the message says:

Šajā nedēļas nogalē ornitologs J.Ķuze dosies gredzenot jūras ērgļu mazuļus ligzdā pie Lubānas ez. Ļoti ceram, ka izdosies atjaunot tiešraidi

G-translator gives:
"This weekend ornithologist J.Ķuze will girdle the sea eagles nest babies at Lubāna ez. We hope it will be possible to restore the live"
(live transmission, probably)

Owlie, i guess the end of the week here means Saturday-Sunday. weekend begins at 8 pm on Friday.
fingers crossed and thumbs up for successful repairs of the camera!

The German "Freitag" (= Friday) is named Freitag, because I have already frei (= free).
Fingers crossed for Janis and a save return to earth after ringing!

Ok, ame.
When I was still in work life the weekend began latest at three o'clock Friday afternoon ...


So there will just be still a couple of days to reload the cam nonstop ... I first of all wish everything is fine in the nest and secondly that we get a returned view into the nest.

@ Janne+Ais
That is what I mean, too!


But all the luck for Jānis in his work when ever it is best for him to approach the nest.

Hey, the Pontu cam is recording pictures again since last evening! Though the stream I could not open now!

I see two huge eaglets on a picture from last evening

thank you felis

The latest one from today 13:50 - one parent there.

And I found one, it looks like they have got their rings already

pontu: today 09:49 nesttime, big eaglets

How wonderful to see the eaglets! And the growth was to be expected - their crops are full and they have been taken care of so fine; if Jānis was there yesterday it is good to see a parent already back in the nest. Thanks Felis and Britta! I have to go to Pontu now and see every picture!


The eaglets have started a painting hobby since last time ...


I checked pics of today every 5 mins
I have passed the resting eaglets - took mainly parents' visits:

The first picture of a parent back 05:44 this morning, the first feeding lasted from 05:44 to 06:03 - I don't see rings, is it Lubana then?:

Impressive wing excercise:

So in all the chicks have had a great support of the parents today!

Great news thank you Felis.

good heavens! what a surprise! what big black monsters!

i have been checking only the live stream and that has not been there so i didn't know that the camera was working at all.

i wonder if we are getting the live stream back at all..?
