Hi!

This nest cam has a very good sighting but eagles somehow ignore it this year.. till now.

It seems that Urmas should have put some food-present in the nest to attract them...

17:32:37 the camera went to sleep.

good morning!
the camera has started.

at about 9: there's again car engine sounds.

[Taube]

good morning

[ame]

13:39 an eagle called! (i think it was here and not in Latvia... yes it was here )
the cars were quiet for a while but now their engines are roaring again so loud that the noise drops snow from the tree. (not! only joking)

17:36:32 the camera went to sleep.

Good Morning

It would be nice if an eagle came to the nest.

[ame]

about 8:39 onward crows are making a terrible racket. it's as if they saw a predator there (an eagle?) but i can't see anyone, not even a crow.


8:42:40 someone flew by in the distance, just tiny black spots.
i think that there was only one bird. the many spots were "after-images". it's impossible to say what bird it was.

there's again the engine noise. cars driving around somewhere far... there must be a motor race course with practices every weekend.

[Felis silvestris]

No race course. The same which is going on every time in winter when the bay(s) are freezing there. It has been cold for quite a while by now and the waters around Haapsalu and the bay is thick enough now.
There are races on the ice - the Österby race http://www.krracing.ee/index.php?option ... 11-osterby
and also the ice road between Haapsalu and Noarootsi has been opened again: http://www.krracing.ee/index.php?option ... 11-osterby

Linke Linda and Sulev's nest, this nest is facing the water and catches the noises from there.

[ame]

9:10 there were a lot of tit voices...
a crested tit came in sight.


then a willow tit joined.


then two willow tits!

17:33:35 the camera went to sleep.

Urmas has mailed us:

Couple of days ago got information from Estonian Ringing Center that WtE
E094 was observed in Lithuania. Contacted to Boris Belchev who made that
observation and he promised to send also some photos about (during a week).
...

that was our Illimar!

not a very good picture.
Bea made a better picture a few posts lower:

edit: i found a nice Pontu picture where Illimar poses with his new rings in the early morning of June 2 2013.

It's so nice to meet one of ours when it is almost an adult

Clever eaglet! It survived hunters and poisons

Hope we'll see one day the superstar

Thanks for bringing the good news !!

[Mutikluti]

Good afternoon!

I found two pictures from my computer about Illimar in the ringing day , Urmas did them:

[Summi]

Thanks for the wonderful news that Illimar is O.K. and will celebrate soon his 4th birthday. It's like meeting kinsfolk.

[EveningSun]

Wow, Illimar flew rather far from his home I keep wondering if Nord, Rahu and Taibu survived this winter and I hope we will see them again one day

[Mutikluti]

Our camera was closed at 17.41

All day was quiet here... I so wait eagles!
