Goshawk Nest Webcam in Tartu by RMK 2022 - 2023

[Polly]

14:43 Alla noticed something, she is super attentive for a few moments and follows another bird with her senses.


Then she returns to herself, nestles and stands in the nest.

14:52


I have now started my old device. I might need an extra eye today.

Alla is skittish.

[Polly]

Wellness for the feathers.

[Polly]

Alla is perfecting another branch on the edge of the nest...I think she will stay.




15:22 Ruudi is calling
...Alla stays

15:47 It's a bit restless from working nearby.

15:52 Alla rises, shakes her feathers, relaxes.
'54 again

[Polly]

15:55 Alla notices Ruudi before he calls. She answers from the nest - and stays?
Ruudi calls again.

...and stays?

Yes.

[Polly]

Ruudi must be around.
Alla gives a short sound over the edge of the nest ... and leaves the nest at 16:02.


16:04 Ruudi in with bark


'05 out -> mating

'09 Ruudi in
'10 walks out

[Polly]

17:19 Alla with bark ...
pull a little and out in '27.

[Polly]

The nest looks fine. It's not too deep as feared. We'll be able to see the eggs.

[Hellem]

17:44 - 17:45 A short visit by Ruudi, he brought nothing
19:49 - 19:51 Ruudi
20:00 Alla lands

Polly

[Polly]

I thought there's not much left today...okay, I'll be back again.

The early evening often has a magical light.


19:49 - 51 And Ruudi came back again (...Alla now too)
Ruudi looks just as pregnant as Alla.

[Polly]

20:00 Alla lands

Yes...
Will she actually continue laying eggs at night?

Seems so.

[Polly]

Alla comes back into the nest.




There will be poor visibility soon.

[Hellem]

Polly, I hope we'll see the egg in the morning

20:43 It's completely dark and Alla is still standing in the nest bowl

[Polly]

I guess so.
We don't have a chance anymore.




I was wondering if Alla was bothered by the crows today? There were some today in the day ... .
It is said that many prefer to lay their eggs at night in order to be more protected/not so easily discovered.

Let's wish Alla a good night after the stress.

edit: 21:16 I hear nothing from Alla, no rustling of feathers, no sighing but sometimes I think I hear Ruudi. But it can also be another bird in the forest.

See you!

March 27th

Matings
6:41:57 , 7:20:15 There were also two failed matings.

Good evening and we are still waiting.

[Polly]

March 28th

Good morning everyone, Hellem, Emiliano!


Alla is in the nest first today.


She rises and works in the nest and we see the first egg!

[Polly]

06:57 Time out for Alla


Ruudi comes to the nest and Alla leaves. Ruudi greets the egg, tugs around it a little and waits most of the time for Alla or listens to the surroundings.




'57 Ruudi briefly leaves the nest but returns. In short, in '58 he's out again.

[Polly]

The egg is alone for 4 minutes when Alla 07:02 returns with bark and covers it.

[Polly]

In - out - visits from Ruudi.
With bark, pluck, kisses ...
07:53/54, '57/58,
08:00, '01/02

[Polly]

08:54 - 09:03 The egg and Alla are revealed.
Her movements are a bit stiff.






She completely covers the egg '03.

09:02 A crane is calling

[Polly]

09:21 next visit from Ruudi.
He brings bark and is quickly gone again.
