[ame]

good morning!
8:54 a male eagle called nearby. it was a rather long call.
Raimis probably.

[ame]

8:57 more calls. male and female. they sound exited, like annoyed.
8:57:51 sounds of wings and more male's voices. then raven's voices.


i need coffee...

9:03 Milda with a green twig
9:04:41 I see Raimis. He is soaring over the meadow.
9:06 He does not come to the nest? Maybe I saw a raven? EDIT: It was Raimis.. he flew from the left to the right

9:06:52 Milda jumps on her left branch

[Liz01]

9:07 Raimis brings a branch

9:09 Nothing happens. Raimis is in the nest, Milda is on her branch
9:09:56 Raimis starts nest work .. it takes a few seconds. He placed a branch very interesting.
9:10 He jumps on his left branch

9:12 Raimis flew away
9:15:00 Milda is scratching her head
she starts preening herself

9:32 Milda flies off

[ame]

9:32:25 Milda flew out.

thank you Liz!

9:03 Milda with a green twig

Milda started work on the nest.

9:04:41 I see Raimis. He is soaring over the meadow.
9:06 He does not come to the nest? Maybe I saw a raven? EDIT: It was Raimis.. he flew from the left to the right

Raimis disappeared out of my sight behind the poop branch. Milda continued her work so i think he flew on.

9:06:52 Milda jumps on her left branch

[ame]

9:07 Raimis brings a branch

9:09 Nothing happens. Raimis is in the nest, Milda is on her branch

Raimis flew from the meadow and by the nest tree to the left. then he brought the stick and started work.

9:09:56 Raimis starts nest work .. it takes a few seconds. He placed a branch very interesting.
9:10 He jumps on his left branch

Raimis put the stick in the fork of the two left branches. it almost looks like they were trying to build a wall in that corner. there have been several sticks in that corner in this autumn already.
maybe they know that Vilnis dropped from there and now try to make that not happen again.

9:12 Raimis flew away

Good afternoon!
Thanks for messages!

I'm not sure, it was Raimis. Unfortunately, there was no way to get a clear picture of his tail. (I've recorded it too)

Do you think, it is widespread among eagles, so long and with ecstasy to gnaw branches?
Of course, not seeing the tail we can not say, but we can assume.

i was thinking the same way.
this gnawing of branches seems to be a hobby of Raimis. i don't remember anyone else doing it with so much passion.
it's also a leisurely activity of an eagle who feels otherwise comfortable. the only annoying thing is the darn stick.
strangers would be anxiously looking around to see if an owner of the nest will turn up.

[Sonchik]

Yes, so to relax selflessly to gnaw a branch, only the owner of a nest can.

At 08:31 there was a voice of a fox, at 08:52 owls and still different voices. But I did not leave them in video, cut off. Left only eagle voices.

Good Morning

ame, thank you for the videos
thanks to all for video and reporting

8:44 Good Morning Milda She has brought a green twig

nice crop on her


her tail


8:46 jumps on her branch

[Liz01]

8:58 She is still on the branch. Raven are aroun.. I can hear them.

9:20 Milda flies off

[ame]

good morning!
thank you for the reports!

9:59 i think i heard long-tailed tits.
or was it a treecreeper?
edit: i think that both species were there. the long-tailed tits were heard and the treecreeper seen.

there are some little birds but too far to see if they are the long-tailed.
i heard a great tit (Parus major), then this supposed long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) or treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) who was calling near the microphone (=loud), a nuthatch (Sitta europaea) a little farther.
then i think i saw a treecreeper on the trunk at the base of the poop branch.
this is a collage of three pictures of the bird that i think was the treecreeper.


after that another little bird was dangling on the tip of branches on the right side of the nest. it seemed to have a bright stripe on top of its head. a goldcrest (Regulus regulus)?
this a collage of three pictures of this bird taking off. the bright stripe on the head can be seen even in swift movement.




edit: i see that mega2 has the same thoughts about the little birds as i:

8:44 Milda brought a nice big green twig. she stood on the nest and was looking around...
8:46 (nearly) she jumped up to the top branch.


9:17 a nuthatch visited. there were also some talkative jays and ravens nearby in the forest.


9:20 Milda flew away.

12:07:15 a jay! from an unexpected angle.




the jay went upstairs a purred there.

i have heard barking voices from the forest at 10:08:about 20 and at 11:39. i think it was a roe deer (not a dog!)

[ame]

12:12:40 an eagle call from rather far. a female? or both?
https://youtu.be/JihdhxlIV3g

12:14:07 more calls? from farther?
yes, they were eagle's calls.

To Ame, while I wrote the answer to your question about birds, you already found everything.

Jay 12:07 https://youtu.be/UrmcXqHqWC4

Shouts of eagles at 12:11 and 12:14 https://youtu.be/obRmBWDU_14

[Sonchik]

The deer shouts? At 13:59 and earlier and later.

[ame]

15:40 Raimis? ... it is a male. he started work.


and jumped to the left branch but i failed to see the tail marks.
... it was a strange male!


15:41 he flew from far right over the meadow towards the pond. there he turned and flew to the nest. maybe he noticed the nest then.
after he left he flew out to the far left. that is probably where he was originally planning to fly to.
