White-tailed sea eagles in Latvia: Juras-Erglis 2016
A new topic for the new year!
This topic will be dedicated for reporting and documenting the events on and around the nest starting from Feb 20th 2016. This reporting should be based on evidence like pictures and videos. A separate topic for free discussions and less informative pictures or videos (but not less interesting!) is provided here:
viewtopic.php?f=99&t=819
This practice of separating observational and discussion topics has been in use in the Osprey-topics for a few years now and is probably already known to many of our members.
The discussion topic is open. Enjoy!
The beginning season is direct continuation to the previous season as the camera has been working (with few longer breaks) all Autumn. You may catch up where we came from here:

Camera links:
JWplayer: http://pontu.eenet.ee/player/juras-erglis.html (Not functional after the spring.)
Ipad and Iphones: http://193.40.133.138/live/juras-erglis/playlist.m3u8 (?)
VLC player: rtsp://193.40.133.138/live/juras-erglis (Not functional after the spring.)
The transmission changed to Youtube from April 21st. The link to the WTE camera can be found, as well as the other the live cameras of Latvia's Nature Foundation Dabasdati can be found here:

Recently the VLC link has not opened the stream directly (for me; for some reason which i have not been able to fix). If you have similar problems but still wish to use VLC then copy the rtsp-address, open VLC, then open Media and play the Network stream from this address.
The working hours of the camera will be different in different times of the year depending on the lighting conditions. The camera system is powered by solar panels which feed a battery. In order to save energy in the battery the camera is turned off for the dark time. First in the winter when days are short the camera will be starting at 7:30 and it will stop at 17:30 local time (EET). Later in the spring and summer the camera may be working even in the dark time of the night. Then we can make audio observations even though we may not be able to see anything.
Please check the local time to see if it is night in Latvia when you try to open the camera and get no stream: the camera may be switched off during the night in order to save power. The Eastern European Time EET is 2 hours ahead of GMT (or Greenwich/London time); in summertime the daylight saving time adds one more hour to GMT.
Sometimes there may be a malfunction in the streaming system. In the link below I have described a way to check if the camera is currently streaming or not:
