Ame , your video is private

The intruder - that's a crime

[Michi]

Yes, you told us . In your video I couldn't see it. You must have eagle-eyes!

The intruder - that's a crime

is it ok now? i think i forgot to push the Publish -button first...
my pc suddenly has become so sticky again. processing videos is almost too much for it.

the intruder looked like an 1-year-old WTE, i.e. it probaby was born last year.

[Owlie]

actually the other looked quite in the wrong way.

How wonderful! Thanks for your videos, ame and macko!

- It is not so easy to know in which direction there is a mother, when you see the world first time in your life ...


The intruder: can it be after the chicks? I mean do WTEs eat others' chicks?

14:52 The two chicks and feeding.

Thanks, macko

[Michi]

Some intruder-pics, I could get. A little late ... So many exciting things happened today.
14:09

[Michi]

15:47 Feeding! Also the younger chick has got some food now.



Here the chick on the left side was fed, the other chick is to see in the middle of the nest.

all good

Michi, better late than never
nice pictures - I am impressed by the pictures-Ame, Felis silvestris and Michi

@ Macko I could not see any chick in the movie

15:47 - 15:54 Lubana fed babies, or actually she fed mostly only the older. the younger doesn't even need food today. it is doing fine with the egg yoke which it has in its tummy now.

[Owlie]

15:50 Lubana fed babies, or actually she fed the older. the younger doesn't even need food today. it is doing fine with the egg yoke which it has in its tummy now.

I agree with Michi, that Lubana gave a couple of bits also to the smaller one

Edit: after having seen your video - maybe you are right, she fed only the bigger one ...

[Felis silvestris]

I'm amazed time and again how careful those huge and fierce birds are with their young. Those tiny little bobbleheads are hardly the size of their beak ...
Congratulations to Latvia!

[lianaliesma]

So happy for Lubana and Sartas!

Thank you ame and all others for beautiful scaps, videos and reports!

Felis silvestris -Thank you! And congratulations to Lithuania, too, from where Sartas comes!

what is that pinkish thing on the right side of the nest?
has there been a food delivery? it almost looks like a skinned lamb's leg or a plucked turkey's leg...?
i was away for about 5 min...

[Janne+Ais]

Yes Ame, Sartas brought it. But I don't know, what it is. Lubana politely said thank you, but she didn't take it up to now.

[lianaliesma]

ame, I checked in pontu... 16.29 Sartas has brought this something to the nest...

[lianaliesma]

crop - it has to be some part of a bird?...

[Owlie]

Also Lubana seems to wonder what that food can be - she keeps on drawing something out of the lump, maybe a vein or something like that - but she doesn't taste it, only plays with it

[ame]

Lubana seems to be wondering about that food thing, too. she took a test bite.

[ame]

it does look like a very big bird's foot (even the size of an eagle!? ) and something that has been inside a bird...?
maybe Sartas found remains of some dead bird?
Lubana tried it again: spagetti?
