Eggs roll...

What was that? Are the eggs ok?
Was Uku followed by another wte because of a fish?

14.20
Intruder! It wanted to steal the egg......Joung eagle attacked eggs...

Are you sure the egg was stolen? Perhaps it was just a messy situation?
Edit 14:36: Ok, I see you changed your post.

Alarm! 14:21 A young WTE landed on the nest, Anna chased it away and flew off, alarm calls around the nest.

It was covered. By miracle...

The parent made a step to chase the intruder and a twig moved and covered the eggs. It was so fast and scary. Mama Mia!!

The eggs look fine! I was worried because Anna seemed to have stepped on them badly. Hopefully they really are fine...

For some reason I cannot watch full screen - the picture turns all black. Therefore I was not able to watch properly. Was there a fish for a moment on the nest rim, before they all disappeared from the nest? Did Uku intend to bring a fish but was robbed by another eagle? (I may be wrong, it was just a glimpse)

There was not before no one fish...

What is that in your last picture, left corner below? Yellow claws holding something? No?
It is not there in your other pictures.

From 12.25 is Uku at home...

It seemed to me that this is a fish...but then this fish was brought by this young eagle...

I will do a video about this accident... It takes time...

That was a scary situation for a moment there. Wow.

Now after watching this a question occured to me: how long could the eggs survive without any hatching if both parents were gone? As it seems that the male is not worried about them a bit and mom seems to be away.... it's been like 20 mins now since it all started and I suppose it's not much warmer in Estonia than it is in Southern Finland (+5°C)?

I don't know who brought the fish. I only assumed it was Uku because this would make more sense.

40 minutes with no problems and even longer. Last year the egg was almost an hour without cover

14:21:02 there was fish and three eagles in the nest.
slow video

edit: normal video 0.50 They are flying in the background.
