[ame]

good morning!
white snow and green spruce twig: the nest is decorated for Christmas.
thank you Milda and thank you for the reports!

[Sonchik]

Good morning all!
Couple, non-standard at us. Usually at this time seldom a nest visit. And our eagles very much love a nest.
Long ago I want to ask - they fought with someone to win this nest or the first came and beat off?

[ame]

11:35 Raimis brought a green twig.

[ame]

he is looking around the forest and stretching her neck..

[ame]

11:39 Milda brought a stick. or was it a green twig? i looked the other way for a second.
i think it was a green twig. it's difficult to see.

[ame]

11:39 both worked together...
11:40 Milda went to the top branch. Raimis continued working.

... Long ago I want to ask - they fought with someone to win this nest or the first came and beat off?

there were tough battles at this nest in 2017. Raimis won the match of males and Milda chased away other girls. that was an even more tough competition.

[ame]

11:42 Milda flew away.


also spring 2016 was very restless. the previous female Durbe (2015 mother of Durbertina) disappeared in the winter and the male Robert came back with an injured foot.
already before that there were several strange birds visiting and more came along the spring.
i found out later that Robert's foot was injured when he came to the nest for the first time after the winter break. we waited so hard for Durbe and Robert to return that we saw Robert in every un-ringed bird who came. Durbe had rings but she never returned...

one couple went steady for a few weeks (Egle and Ansis) but the female Egle got bored and stopped coming.
in the summer 2016 we had a lovely couple Vents and Shilute. the female Shilute rebuilt the nest during the winter but she disappeared in next January 2017.

11:44 Milda brought a stick. both worked together...
11:45 Milda went to the left branch. Raimis continued arranging hay on the nest.
11:46 Milda got to the top branch. then she flew away.


Raimis continued work alone.

[ame]

11:47 Milda brought a stick. Raimis flew out because Milda was aiming at his back as a landing ground. Raimis flew to an oak in the middle, behind the poop branch. he landed there.
Milda arranged sticks on the nest.


11:48 (nearly 49) Milda got up to the top branch.
11:49:00 Raimis flew away from the oak to the left. after that Milda flew out and followed him to the left.


i made a close-up clip of Raimis flying to the tree and then away from there.

[ame]

11:52 Milda came back. she brought a thin stick.


11:53 Raimis brought a stick. both worked together...
then Milda lay down on the nest.

[ame]

11:54:50 clong-clong from the left side of the nest from below. did a stick drop?
not all the way. Raimis knocked one stick which knocked another but neither of them dropped.
both looked that way to see what there was.

11:55 Milda to top branch. Raimis to the outer left branch.


11:56 Raimis flew out.

[Abigyl]

Ame, It was Milda. I saw her ) M (

[ame]

12:08 Milda flew away.


Milda? at what time Abigyl? did i see wrong after all?
i made more pictures of their arrivals. Raimis came first.


then came Milda.

[Liz01]

ame, thank you for reporting and pictures I was away!

So far I could see, all is in the right Order.

[ame]

someone has been here! the sticks and hay are in different order than half an hour ago.
16:04 Milda brought a big fresh spruce twig.
16:05:about 05 Raimis flew from the left towards the pond. he seemed to touch one tree top and then he continued to fly a loop above the pond. finally he flew to the right under the poop branch. i can't see how far he flew but i think he landed here:




16:06 Milda went to the top branch.

[ame]

16:08 Raimis flew from the tree in the meadow and brought a stick.
i made a close-up clip of the flight of Raimis.
he seemed to fly from the left-most oak under the poop branch and then come to the nest with a stick.


they worked together....

[ame]

16:10 Milda went to the left branch and further to the top branch. Raimis worked a little more. then also he went to the left branch.
16:12 Milda flew out.

[ame]

16:14 Raimis flew out.


16:16 Milda brought a stick. she worked for a while...
16:17 she went to the top branch.


then she flew out.

[ame]

moonlight is shining on the nest. a dog is barking somewhere far...
this picture is not very bright ...


... but the Moon is high on the Southern sky.


good night!

[Sonchik]

Good evening!

there were tough battles at this nest in 2017. Raimis won the match of males and Milda chased away other girls. that was an even more tough competition.

Thanks for details of emergence of our couple and today also.
It is necessary to read forums for 2016 in more detail.
How you think, who is an owner of a nest at eagles, a male or a female? Who chooses a nest and begins to fight for it respectively?

Results of today:
