Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2019

[ame]

7:01 an interesting bird flew over the nest. both eaglets looked at it.
7:02 a bird called father in the forest. i think it was a black woodpecker. there's no guarantee that this bird was the same which flew over the nest a little earlier.

7:24 Raimis brought the third fish. he began to feed.
he left when Milda came.
Ajeta later wrote that the fish vanished when Raimis left.

Raimis did take the fish with him!
good old Raimis! he was making this trick many times when they were dating.


Milda continued feeding both with what was left of the previous fish.

7:36 Raimis brought the fourth fish and left. Milda fed the family. then she flew away.

8:17 our Rika

7:36 Raimis brought the fourth fish and left. Milda fed the family. then she flew away.

When Raimis left earlier (upon Milda's arrival) the big fish he had brought at 7:24 was no longer at the place (directly under the camera) where Raimis held it to feed Mika and eat himself. So either it dropped when Raimis left or he took it with him. I could not identify sounds of falling, so I assume Raimis who was obviously hungry took it away with him. When he returned he brought the tail of (presumably) that fish. His crop was now so big that he might well have eaten the fish he originally brought at 7:24. At any rate, Milda only fed those left over parts of the two fish brought in the morning which the eaglets had only half eaten. Plus one fish tail brought by Raimis at 7:36.

Good morning!

...
(I tried to insert a photo of the crop here which could be seen very well when Raimis leaves, but it did not work. Sorry!)

You have to load the photo on any photohosting, then insert exile to the message.

When Raimis left earlier (upon Milda's arrival) the big fish he had brought at 7:24 was no longer at the place (directly under the camera) where Raimis held it to feed Mika and eat himself..............

Well spotted
Raimis took the fish and flew away with it
That was no intention. He stood on top of this fish and his claws did not open as he flew away

A big shock for him. His boss is coming and he had eaten from the fish (the fish bladder) He was feeding the eaglet, as Milda came in.

[Liz01]

12:21 eaglet is a bit screaming. I can not see, why

12:25 Rika I have the feeling she needs space for herself. She does it after Mika sits down.




She is a beauty

[Liz01]

a few more


she is a big girl


that looks great

[Liz01]

12:33:59 alarm call by Raimis. three times . Eaglets pay attention
Eaglets are looking above


I think, that Raimis is sitting in the tree top
12:34:14 looks like he left eaglets are looking to the right- then to the left.

[Ajeta]

Good morning!

Thank you, yes, after my failed attempt at inserting I looked around in the forum a bit (should have done before trying) and found some posts about that. So I have to explore the photohosting business with which I am not at all familar. Learning something new every day

[Liz01]

12:34 Both see something


12:47 Rika is standing in the wind again

[Ajeta]

Well spotted

Indeed he held the fish fast in his claw. Whether intention or not, he made good use of this chance by eating the fish himself to strengthen himself for the next hunting spree. Poor Milda though, she probably got least of them all.

[Liz01]

13:04 Miks is very near on the left edge




now Rika is there


Now comes the time where I need tranquilizers

[Sonchik]

Good afternoon!
I continue to compare eaglets.
Look at their proportions. What long legs at Rika. Model!

[Liz01]

13:03 -13:12 It is incredible windy and the nest seems to small for both
wing exercises in rain and hail? (by hail I'm not sure)

Rika is standing

[Liz01]

13:30 A parent on the left higher branch
13:29:50 arrival


13:31 flew in an arc to the forest

At 4:37, 4:38 there are a lot of amusing moments too.

[Sonchik]

At 5:24 Mika dumped pellet, it took Rika.

[Ajeta]

At 4:37, 4:38 there are a lot of amusing moments too.

Indeed, and did you not write the other day that Mika had yet to learn to eat on a branch and would then be able to lead an independent life? At 4:31 he is doing some practice "eating on a branch" (first level so to speak).
