Sulev lay down again and just when he had made himself comfy Linda landed at 14:09.


i don't think Linda had anything to bring (but her left claw was in the shadow).

[ame]

14:10 Sulev got up and took off.

[Britta]

a short calling

[Britta]

now a little bit homework and egg-rolling

[laranjeiras]

16.39 some bird is bothering linda - she yells a few times

[laranjeiras]

17:21 sulev is here. at 17.15 linda started yelling a few times and then, 5 minutes later she got up and left the nest.

sulev is eating something

[ame]

it seems that Sulev found something to eat on the rim of the nest. maybe it is bones and other remains of the bird the other day? or did he bring it?
i could not see...

[ame]

Linda called many times but i could not see why. maybe she saw Sulev coming or there were crows nearby..? i heard some crow calls but they were far.

then at last she got up and called some more from the bottom of her heart.

[ame]

17:20 she took off.

[ame]

about 30 s later Sulev landed.


he began to eat something which i think he found on the nest (but i'm not sure)

[Britta]

wonderfull pics, thanks ame

[ame]

i made a slowmotion video (1/3 speed of normal) of Sulev's arrival to better see if he brought something. i think he came 'empty-handed' and found some old bones on the nest.

thanks britta.

[laranjeiras]

'cadillac' sulev has just been eating away again... i've never seen him eating at the nest before...

[laranjeiras]

linda has come back. i think she brought some hay... she arrived at 19:12 and had a bite to eat on the rim of the nest. she whistled and coo-ed at sulev, he cheeped back - i wonder if he was saying 'i'm not getting off'! a bit more whistly persuasion from linda and he flew off - they then called to each other from afar.

super cute!

19:12

I *think* it was Linda on the nest - Sulev arrived with a bunch of grass in his right foot. He dropped it in front of Linda, and she called softly to him and arranged the grass in front of her.

Then she got up and flew off to the left, and Sulev settled over the eggs. A few distant eagle calls were hears, and Sulev replied.

ooops, I see I have them backwards in my post! Linda brought the hay, ate a bite, Sulev left ...

Now it is Linda on the eggs. Sulev left (not a good picture)


btw: nice crane sound

[laranjeiras]

linda rolls the eggs a bit and changes position - i think they both like to have 'spare' hay - each time they shift position they like to 'plug the gaps', no?

edit: 20:12 eagle cam time - i heard a flock of birds flying by - mute swans?

[Britta]

and again - cranes

20:36 eagle-cam time: egg rolling and arrange some hay

[laranjeiras]

linda yells!

[Britta]

and calling



the sound was so loud, my dog jumped on the table :peek:
