August 3

Welcome to new forum members
and thank you, Pinkeluza for the video!

5:30 Lina is in the nest (according to the Pontu archives, she arrived just a few minutes before this picture)

[NancyM]

5:45 flapping of wings was hear, and Liina made the strangest sound I have heard a stork make!

5:47 Liina while she make that strange (interesting!) sound



Soon, more flapping was heard and Miiko landed on the nest.


Miiko made a noise to Liina

[NancyM]

5:48 Liina kept touching Miiko's beak, as though begging for food.


They preened each others neck feathers a little bit, and Miiko stretched his wings

[airras]

good morning.
7:44

[Manu]

I just opened the cam
08:54h Something disturbed one of the youngsters (I see it is Miiko)




My breathing stopped
Suddenly a WTE landed on the nest

Part I

Hello everybody
Did you see that (at around 8:40)? The 2 young were on the nest, then they heard something. One flew away immediately. The other remained with a very agressive behaviour. Then arrived an eagle on the nest. He is still there. And the second young left at the same time

Hello everybody

No ring. So we cannot know where it come from ?

[Dingle]

No, I didn't see it. I just opened the cam at 08:50h

May be I was wrong about the exact time, but you saw it, and posted pictures

Eagle in the nest
Part II




Yes, WTE had no rings. I think it was a youngster. Second/ third winter or something? Maybe Ame can tell us a bit more about the age of the eagle.
It was a beautiful guy but he don't have to attack our storklets!!!!!!

[Dingle]

It was a beautiful guy but he don't have to attack our storklets!!!!!!

I agree with you Manu

[airras]

buffff .... can see the "attack" did not know if it was curiosity or attack, I have a whole video, is charging. a question, is a white-tailed eagle?

[Manu]

Airras : Yes, it was a White tailed eagle .

[airras]

[airras]

Here you have the video, I hope it looks good ...

[Lussi05]

OMG, what a drama this morning, an eagle in the nest
I hope Miiko is ok, I think it sounded as if he chrash- landed in the bushes.

Thank you all for pictures, videos and comments, what a luck that you saw it

The eagle was beautiful, for a moment it almost looked as if he considered it as a future home;)

A huge thunderstorm is comming, we can hear it now, so unfortunately I have to log off...

Hello Everybody! :)

The white tailed eagle



A bit better quality

[ame]

ohhoh! a WTE!! on a BS nest!
wow it was so great that Liina and Miiko could fly well already. i haven't watched the videos yet...

Manu
thank you for pointing this to me! i think you are right about the age. it didn't look like this summer's eagle and maybe it wasn't last year's eagle either. it was probably at least 2 years old, maybe 3. it had still a very dark beak (young) but a lot of light grey feathers in the plumage (older).

let's see what Urmas or Renno can say about this.
