May 21 - First egg hatched

[Felis silvestris]

I opened the cam and one osprey is sitting in the nest!

And the VLC address is: rtsp://193.40.133.138:80/live/zivju-erglis

I wonder - does she have an egg??

21:43

[Felis silvestris]

I just asked myself the same! She is sitting so calmly on the nest!

Tomorrow will tell.
Thanks to everyone for another great cam. However will we manage it..?

Note: some things ospreys will collect in their nests;

Every time I have peeked in at this nest, someone is sitting there - including now at 7:51 AM

(there must be an egg!)

Is it possible to change this thread title so that Latvian is the first word -- so it doesn't look quite so much like the thread title for the other osprey cam?

Good idea, Alice. I did that.

Almost certain she is incubating if she has stayed all this time.

Its raining hard here now. Poor bird has to stay and protect the egg/s.

Ohh I am glad you were on vacation and not just being worked to the bone. Tuuli is in fine voice but I think the Osprey nests NEED a watcher.

I have to go to the magic.
the combination of VLC and picasa does not work for the movies.
I think I need to use the program RVC, I'll do my best.

A cuckoo calls



this movie should be better

[Fleur]

I also think there should be eggs, the nest is too deep to be able to see.
She is wonderful on the nest, sometimes looking around
