16:17 Alarm call? outside the nest... again

16:33 the nest rocks in the wind

16:31 a cone dropped to the nest from the top in a very hard gust of wind. - it was awfully windy.

[ame]

...
16:37 Raimis comes into the nest
Mika is calling for fish

he didn't bring anything.

[ame]

16:40 Raimis flew away. The wind is so strong, That he has trouble to fly into the direction in which he wanted.

Milda cried in the forest before he left.


he flew a few curves so that it was visible. the eaglets watched him fly much longer.

i laughed out loud when i saw how Riks used Mika as a stool.
the PS was again like serpentine in the hard wind.
WE!

[ame]

17:03 Riks is kissing Milda

i first thought it was Mika but it is so unlikely that it had to be Riks.

[ame]

19:56 Milda started calling kaa-kaa-kaa in the forest.

her voice changed as if she flew around the forest. at times it sounded like she turned her head during a scream.
this crying went on for over 3 min.

[ame]

20:00 Milda flew in with the siren on.


then Raimis flew in with a nice pike.


Raimis jumped to the safety of the left branch. he has quite a handful with his family.

[ame]

Riks bit and hit Mika as soon as it was question of food.


20:00 Raimis flew out.


Milda began to feed Riks.

[ame]

20:11 Riks pooped.


then he returned to the meal.

this has been an unpleasant feeding to watch.
i made pictures of the beatings but i don't like to put them here.

[ame]

20:17 Mika started to get some last pieces from the pike. that's good!


20:19 all pike gone.

20:20 Milda called kaa-kaa.

here the delivery and first part of the feeding till 21:13.


there was an artificial break between the videos. part 2 continues where the previous ends.

[ame]

20:26 Mika pooped.

Good evening

Ame, have a question;
Have you ever seen an Eagle Mole, Mouse or Rat bring to the nest?
I ask because I have never seen it until today.

[ame]

Sova
i cannot remember seeing any such prey at a WTE's nest. at least i can't remember any such animal being identified. a few days ago Milda brought one such small dark food item that it might have been a water vole (Arvicola amphibius). the meadow is such a wet environment that water voles certainly live there. Milda's prey was, however, impossible to identify it.

20:52 Milda shook her head hard. Riks tried to peck her beak.


21:09 Riks pooped from behind Milda's back.


then he made some WE there. he also showed his head so that i could identify him. (i hope i'm right).

[ame]

21:17 Milda called kaa-kaa-kaa. she was half-asleep.


21:23 Mika pooped with a whistle.

[ame]

21:39 a woodcock flew by so that it could be seen in the upper left corner against the sky as a black blurry dot. it flew from left to right.
21:42 it flew by and over the nest, again in the top left corner. it sang along its way.

[ame]

then a few more videos from the late afternoon.
17:56 Mika made a WE and stumbled and punished Riks. he bit and beat Mika badly. i'll skip the pictures.
Riks also pecked Milda's face.

[ame]

18:51 & 18:52 Milda went to the top branch.

[ame]

19:04 Riks pooped a loop. how did he make it!??


then he mad WE.


19:05 Mika pooped.
