4 May

05:05 Just as in Estonia, the Latvian LSE is asleep on her nest. I wonder how many eggs she has?



Pretty lady



05:15 Still one Egg

05:20

Isn't she sweet?

13.45 Food delivery
It was a frog, though I didn't get snapshot about

Yes, she is

6 May

She is in a similar pose this morning (asleep with her head tucked in)

Yesterday, on May 5th, female laid the second egg!
I observed her a few hours. Between 14-17:00 she was rather restless, calling the male frequently, but he has not arrived (he returned only about 20:45). Then she put her head between the wings, and in this pose she has been sleeping for nearly an hour. After she awoke, her behaviour changed, she was very calm and even did not get up until 18:45 - I saw there was still only one egg:


One minute later, at 18:46, she started to raise up her feathers and her tail. I thought that she had been just laying the second egg:


And indeed, when she got up at 18:50 I saw two eggs!



Today, I am a bit worried, because she stays in the nest all the time, and the male doesn’t arrive to bring some food or release her. She is certainly hungry and calls him often: video.


Now, she is sleeping again.

At 18:18 male arrived bringing a very small snack. Female ate it within three seconds. Male left after a minute.


He returned twenty minutes later (18:39) bringing something a bit larger, and has gone. Now, she needed more time to finish her meal, about one minute.

Thank You, Lucy, for that report and pictures. Two eggs now she has caught up with Eha (who seems to sleep a lot, too)

She or he is calling loudly, but no one answering. I dont know how long is from last meeting.

I think he/she begins to look a bit indignant by now... and regularly shouting since nearly one hour

9 May

not quite 05:00 ... asleep on the nest.
Interesting bird song in the background - I have no idea what species it might be (sounds like a cross between wood dove and owl )

Everything seems to be ok and there are also some food left.

at 12.40 two lonely eggs



same view at 13.20

edit: at 13.30
nice to see you

There has been busy morning in the nest!
One of them has been leaving the nest and coming back with branches three times

9.34


9.35


9.48- 14.01 the nest is empty

Little visitor, thief

At last! Both parents were away more than 4 hours
at 14.01 the male arrived with prey





He turned the eggs and sat on them about 10 minutes

14.03

14.05


He took off at 14.13
The prey (seems like a vole) "is waiting" for female

The female eagle is already 6 hours away, weird

Are they going to abandon the nest? A bird is sitting on the branch, ignoring the eggs.
