Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2018

[ame]

maybe Raimis brought the big bunch of hay in order to cover the poop.

both are preening on their branches although both are relatively dry. they have been in a shelter last night unlike the strange girl who was soaking wet. they know were to hide in bad weather.

11:32 Milda flew away from the right branch.


11:33 she brought a short but thick stick.
edit: this was a green spruce twig, too!
it started to rain.
11:33 Milda jumped to the left branch and then Raimis flew away. Milda got up to the top branch.
also she took a green twig from the nest to the left branch. when she jumped up to the top branch she dropped it. oops!

11:28 Raimis Again on the poor right branch? go look for new branches, you'll need this branch for your kids!!

[Liz01]

11:34 Raimis brought a branch
11:37 He is nibbling on Mildas tail

Max nice to see you again

11:40 both left the nest tree

[ame]

11:34 Raimis brough a nice stick. he then worked on the nest...
he had a funny hair style today: the back of his neck and the top of his head were wet and therefore looked darker than the rest of his head. he reminded a coal tit to me, or a blackcap.
there's something funny going on in the end of this recording... well, never mind.


11:37 he jumped to the left branch and pulled Milda's tail feathers again. The days have become longer and Milda begins to look more charming in his eyes.


11:40 Raimis flew out and Milda right after him.

[Abigyl]

Light rain

[ame]

11:43 Milda came back and worked a little... and got up to the top balcony.


11:44 Raimis in as it began to rain (in sunshine!). Milda came down. both arrange hay.
11:45 Raimis to outer left branch.


11:46 Milda to top branch.


Milda's tail was again within inches from Raimis' beak. i can't say if he was tempted or not but anyway he didn't pull her tail any more.

11:49 Raimis flew away. Milda followed him.

13:53 An Eaglet !!

[Abigyl]

13:55 He likes the right branch like the boss !!

[Abigyl]

13:58 he flew away but was followed by another eagle? who flew from left to right on the forest

[Liz01]

Is a big eaglet with

Abigyl you saw it right, it was a adult eagle... poor spotty Babie

[Liz01]

13:53 An Eaglet !!

13:55 He likes the right branch like the boss !!

The video. The eaglet flew away, scared by an adult. In the end of the video, the eaglet flew from the right to the left and a raven is singing a sad song

it seems that the season has indeed begun, with two strange eagles in one day and day isn't over yet.

13:53 the baby came. it was still rather playful.


then a raven came to laugh at her (i think it was a girl).
edit: later i thought this might be a boy.
she was probably a last summer's eaglet, i.e. 2nd winter or 2 CY (calendar years old).


13:58 the youngster saw something in the sky on the left side, something that made her uneasy...
she flew away to the right and at the same time an adult eagle followed her. after a short while an eagle flew from the right over the meadow and a little later another bird followed the first. i think the adult was either Raimis or Milda who came to show the way out of the forest.

[Abigyl]

This one was too young for me

There was no need to look for a ring, I knew it's not our baby

[ame]

16:28 Raimis came home.


Raimis worked on the nest... the top of his head was still darker than normally. blackcap.


16:30 Milda came, too.

[ame]

both worked a little...
16:31 Raimis to the outer left branch.


16:32 Milda got up to the top branch. she is shaking her tail feathers in front of Raimis.... almost tickles his beak.
Raimis could not resist it, he had to pull her tail.
Milda turned around... and flew away. Raimis followed her.

[ame]

17:15: about 20 a mallard's voice.


17:24:10 grey heron's voices? i think so.

Good Morning !

So good to see one of them on the nest so early

Yesterday they learned that they have to show themselves in their home. It's winter time!

[Abigyl]

Technical problem

Since yesterday, I cannot watch the nest from the Iphone.

All other cams are OK, only this one is jumpy.
