Goshawk Nest Webcam in Tartu by RMK 2022 - 2023

[Polly]

It remains quiet, only Ruudi and Alla can be heard in the area. No sign of a second female or a juvenile.

07:09 Ruudi brings a branch.
He nests and stacks...






Mating after Ruudi has left the nest.

[Polly]

The stream is currently hanging. I can't even go back in time.
I will (hopefully) continue later. Today is also a somewhat hectic day for me. Sorry.

[Polly]

07:56 Ruudi brings another branch into the nest.

He works and looks around.
Slightly ruffles its feathers.


Mating after leaving the nest.

09:36 Ruudi brings another branch.

[Polly]

09:58 Alla's visit seems full of attention.
She doesn't actually do anything in the nest, but she's listening in all directions.

[Polly]

10:32 - 10:33; 10:36; 11:04 - 11:06; 11:30 - 11:32 Ruudi 

10:32 Oh, Ruudi comes from far right this time.
Takes a sweeping curve. Yes, with branch ... ... two branches? More branches?


11:32 The nest three visits and three matings later...



Pairings:
10:34, 11:06, 11:32



I urgently need an egg.

[Polly]

18:02


I am really looking forward to this season in this beautiful nest in beautiful surroundings. The stream is getting better and better, sound and picture are now well combined - thanks @Urmas Abel & the team behind him for this chance to observe these fascinating birds so beautifully.

[Polly]

18:55 Do they mate in the background of the ambulance sirens?
In any case, Alla and Ruudi are present.
18:59 Alla is calling

[Polly]

I found the link.
Regarding the beggars.

https://www.greifvogel.com/habichte/habicht/index.htm

Das sogenannte „Lahnen“, entfernt an den miauenden Ruf des Mäusebussards erinnernd, klingt wilder als bei jenem wie „pii-ä“ oder „plii-ä“. Mit dieser Rufform hält das Weibchen Kontakt zum Männchen. Außerdem fungiert es als „Bettelruf“ des Weibchens und der Jungvögel.

GT

The so-called "Lahnen", vaguely reminiscent of the buzzard's meowing call, sounds wilder than those like "pey-ä" or "plii-ä". With this call form, the female maintains contact with the male. It also acts as a "begging call" for the female and young birds.

....apparently not just a reputation for juveniles or females.

[Hellem]

16:29 - 16:31 One more visit by Ruudi

Polly , thank you for the great pictures, videos and comments

[Polly]

6:00 - 6:02; 6:14 - 6:16 Ruudi

Briefly reported: two visits, two matings and twice Ruudi touched the bottom of the nest with the tip of his beak.
The rest of the time Ruudi stands in the nest, very attentively checking the surroundings. Slightly ruffle the feathers again.





Two Pairings 06:02, 06:16 - Sporty

@Hellem
Thank you for watching and participating!

[Polly]

6:20 - 6:24 Alla

Alla again brings a larger green branch of a pine.
She begins to build it in. Alla also takes care of other wild branches. It seems she doesn't like branches sticking up. Alla tries to tie the ends into the nest. All this without paying attention.






Alla stands briefly on the edge of the nest and then leaves the nest.
Shouts can be heard.

[Polly]

6:40 - 6:41; 7:45 - 7:48 Ruudi

06:40 Ruudi lands in the nest with a spectacle and a less spectacular branch.




mating after leaving the nest.

07:45 This time he flutters into the nest in love. Flies it already with soft 'Gjak'.
His white skirt is fanned out...Ruudi in love.

[Polly]

7:55 Alla brings a large branch and does nestwork , 8:02 she flies away

I don't know what Alla was thinking with this branch.
She liked him and Alla brought him with her. And it shows again that it is important to Alla to secure access to the nest between the two tribes.
It was easy to see that their attention is focused on this spot when building their nests.

It also shows the maturity and sophistication of Alla.
Hard to believe but the bulky branch is in place.

[Polly]

[Polly]

[Polly]

The branch now fits.
Alla - a female ... a goal.








The main thing is that Ruudi doesn't pull it out again.

Alla and her branch ...

[Polly]

8:06 - 8:07 Ruudi with a small twig
8:18 - 8:19; 9:30 - 9:34; 9:40 - 9:41; 9:46 - 9:47; 10:01 - 10:02; 10:05 - 10:07; 10:09 - 10:10 Ruudi 

And Ruudi also brings a mini branch to 08:18.

08:18 cute ...


The visit from 09:30 was very euphoric.


Many shouts, many 'Gjak' .... animated Ruudi Alla?
Ruudi raises his dark hood.

All visits were similar. I think they were control visits. Alla was obviously absent at the time.

Last pairing 08:07
From then on no more sign of Alla.

[Polly]

2:47 - 12:48 Ruudi again

And it seems that Ruudi has eaten well in the meantime.




Alla still seems to be touring. Absolute calm in the area.

[Polly]

14:34 - 14:35 A hooded crow 

Waaah...for a moment I was afraid she would mess up Alla's masterpiece.
It was a cautious visit... just a quick pluck.
