Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis 2016: Observations

[Liz01]

the video from the whole stay



I've to go

[Liz01]

7:19 both sing near

[ame]

6:57:52 both arrive
first Robert, then Bride. She lands on the left branch and call

hopped in the nest and call again

good morning!
no-one (except a crow) around.

Liz, thanks for the videos!
- there's something wrong with this video. it's "Removed by the user"?
edit: ok, a mistake: no coffee yet?

8:06 some lazy eagle's kaa - kaa - kaa's. ... is it an eagle?
i think that the first voice is. ... as if like someone were tickled.

[ame]

8:14:30 a few more eagle's calls but the wind almost covers it. i think a female voice.

Experts poured a bucket of ice water on our heads...
Perhaps the couple is planning to enjoy a long year of engagement.
I can understand Robert... He really needs a good rest.

i have been thinking also about what Janis wrote earlier about the Bride. he wrote that her outer appearance isn't quite mature yet: she has some brown on her beak and a shade of brown in her eyes. maybe she isn't quite sexually mature either? who knows. to me she looks more mature than the Estonian bride Anna though. she has much more brown eyes than 'our' bride. it will be interesting to see what will happen in Estonia, too.

8:49:33 eagles sing

[Liz01]

someone lands on the nest tree

it is the Bride. she call

[Liz01]

I hear she, but they can not see!
is she under the nest

9:15:52 cracking branches. what she does?

[Liz01]

I think it's gone. Maybe it was a young eagle

[ame]

it was probably some stranger if it did not show itself at all. yesterday the spotty young eagle stayed above the view for a while before landing on the nest. they know they are somewhere where are not welcome.

[ame]

9:39 two ravens. - pretty toes.


they were quiet.


maybe a raven was above the camera earlier? one raven was in the top quietly for some time yesterday.
- oh but you heard an eagle's voice, Liz. it was an eagle.

[ame]

9:45 a hooded crow visited.


the corvids of the neighbourhood are checking if the eagles have started yet.

[ame]

I hear she, but they can not see!
is she under the nest

9:15:52 cracking branches. what she does?

i can't find these sounds or voices...
i made a longer clip because often the sounds are delayed in my recordings. i hear nothing special here.

are you sure you heard them here and not from for example Merikotkas?
what was the time of the eagle calls? sometime before 9:11? (that's the time of your post.)
i hear nothing special here starting from 9:04. the gusty wind is the loudest sound.

[Liz01]

Ame, it was only the Juras Erglis cam on on my PC

I have recorded directly. Unfortunately only a part on aTube and VCL. In VCL Player Video I could not find it



I'm sure, that I had opened only the JE camera!
at 9:15, there was no event in Merikotkas. I have just checked

I was just in the DD Forum and have set my video, as I heard the landing and the call from the eagle. It was 9:12!

[Liz01]

Robert at the Nest

he eat something

[ame]

12:32 ehem... 12:31:54 someone came with lunch.


he has a big fish head (?). he begins to eat.


Robert? i think so. maybe?



i'll look again for the sounds. i must be deaf... they are quite clear in your video, Liz.
- or maybe the sound is very confused in my recording.

[ame]

i think this must be Robert's tail. - this is the first food delivery to the nest this season.

[Liz01]

i think this must be Robert's tail. - this is the first food delivery to the nest this season.

a good sign.
The head for Robert, the rest for the Bride

[Liz01]

Robert cleans his beak on a twig



and flew away at 12:47:45

[ame]

before leaving dirty beak.


oops! out he went. this is all that could be seen of his spots. - not a word he said all time.

[Liz01]

Leftover in the nest. the air bubble? For crows and Ravens
