Estonian Osprey Nest (Ivo & Iiris) 2019

[Abigyl]

i got a reply from Urmas about this eagle.

the eagle has stayed practically at home.
it's 5 calendar years old, almost mature. it's probably looking for a territory with serious intentions.

Thanks for the answers

Everybody's impatient?

If Ivo comes very, very early (as in 2017) it will be in 5 days...

On the other hand: Osprey Vova is now already at the border Latvia-Belarus.

Vova has been at home in Estonia already on 3rd April

But not this year. That must have been another year. Here: http://birdmap.5dvision.ee/

...ame, for my knowledge - what does "stayed at home" mean?..
Unfortunately I can't estimate how big a territory of a sea eagle is. Or an eagle owl or an osprey.
...

i'm sorry that i wrote a bit ambiguously. i meant the eagle was seen fairly close to its hatching nest.

some WTEs have been equipped with satellite transmitters (especially in Finland) the data show that different eagles behave differently. some stay fairly close to the native nest (at a distance of about 100 km - 200 km). others may travel over really long distances and make long tours. sometimes they return to the starting point (almost). the next year they may take the same tour as the previous year or may travel somewhere else. these migrations take place before the eagles mature and find a stable territory.

we had at the Durbe WTE nest an eagle who was seen there for 11 (or 12) times during the 2 years when the nest was uninhabited. (~ something like that). this eagle hatched near to this nest (less than 100 km away; don't hang me if i don't remember the details exactly right).

Women can do that.

It is nice to finally read you again mogga!
Ps: still no release for the nest of Mati and the beautiful bird chirping.

Well, many Ospreys are already at home and we have already seen Ospreys here on the dead tree.
Why not Ivo too?

I can only speak for myself but I am not about rearing. I am more interested in whether he is well.
I like to see him. He is a great osprey.

Maybe you mixed something up? Vova is osprey from Belarus.

Wow, these numbers just surprise me.
If quite near 100 - 200km are... . I have completely misjudged it!
Thank you ame! Your answer just enriched me a lot. I had expected the area around the slip nest to be much smaller. Maybe 50km.... .

So it doesn't surprise me that we young birds hardly or never see or hear also only coincidentally.

Thank you very much!

You can google a lot but often it is confusing or not clear or not understandable at all.
This forum is much more educational.

WTEs may travel very long distances during the years it takes for them to mature, thousands of kilometers. 5 - 6 years is a long time.
it is not certain at all that they settle to breed in the region where they hatched.

i you want to read more about the Finnish satellite WTEs then check this page of the Natural History Museum of Finland:
https://luomus.fi/en/finnish-white-tail ... e-tracking
if you click the name of an eagle you'll get to the page where you can see maps of the travels of that bird.

what an impressive beak!
it's a girl?

[Abigyl]

Good Morning!
Liz,
Since first arrival, I only try to imagine "Angelina" as an adult like this one.

They were born on the same season. I hope she's alive and has a nest and a boyfriend
Hard to think that soon she can be MOM Durbertina

2. April ---> Camera goes online

Good morning and a happy Sunday to all of you.
I wanted to ask, is there any news about the other webcam- Kalakotkas1? Or shall I assume that this year we are going to follow one nest only?
Thank you very much in advance

• Good morning and a wonderful sunny Sunday to you all.
  Since yesterday in the afternoon the livecam is offline - http://pontu.eenet.ee/player/kalakotkas2.html
  Hopefully someone could fix that.

This bird is too big to fit in cam view when it stands upright

[mogga]

Well, many Ospreys are already at home and we have already seen Ospreys here on the dead tree.
Why not Ivo too?

Fine with me, right away. He can come today, I have nothing against it!

Beautiful WTE. Another reason to adjust the picture a little bit higher. I would also like that.
