Sulev arriving



Change of guards

[ame]

7:47 Sulev "creeped" silently to the left branch.
Linda saw him coming but she began to call after Sulev landed.


then Sulev jumped lightly to the nest.

[ame]

Linda whistled a little, got up and left at 7:49. Sulev is staying.

[IREN-]

Linda was born and ringed in 1998 as a chick so she will be 15 years old this summer.

she is an experience mother, so that we are not necessary to worry for posterity

[laranjeiras]

wow I have missed a lot being away these past days!! what a drama with the two stranger eagles! Sulev and Linda did a fine job defending their nest - and really amazing pictures/videos - thank you so much everyone!!

I note there is some fish tail? or bird tail? next to sulev in the nest

edit: 09:35 I was out of the room and now it's vanished!! grrr... I missed what sulev did with it...

[IREN-]

And where coffee in a bed?

[laranjeiras]

eagle cam time: 8.52 linda came and they swapped over... sulev called from afar... (i couldn't spot the 'thing' i'd seen earlier on... suspect it's me seeing things... )

[Manu]

09:52h
Linda arrive with a bunch of hay

[laranjeiras]

sulev came and brought linda a fish (i think?) - she whistled a bit as he was arriving... then, as she started to eat, a bird was present and they both watched it intently. this interrupted linda's eating - she whistled quite a lot and sulev briefly yelled but mostly they just looked and followed the bird with their eyes. this bird might have been an eagle but could have been a hooded crow - it showed up in the picture but i couldn't identify it (high up top left hand corner). linda finished eating and flew off... all this happened around 11.45 - 50 eagle cam time.

[Britta]

sounds of crows nearby, Sulev calls and is very attentively

[ame]

i have some pictures from the earlier change at 9:51.
Linda brought a big bunch of hay again. it's no wonder that it has become increasingly difficult for us to see the eggs.
nice gif maker !
press esc if you want to stop the animation

they talked a little and then Sulev got up. Sulev's tailmarks.

[ame]

9:52 Sulev took off.


Linda rolled the eggs before laying down.

[ame]

this time it sounds like the crows are having an arguement among each other and not with eagles. Sulev listens carefully though...

it seems that Sulev comes to incubate more often now than in the earlier weeks. might it be because fishing waters have opened and it's useful to let Linda go fishing herself?

[Britta]

egg rolling, change postion and do a little homework:


i also think Sulev is more here than weeks ago

[Britta]

Sulev talks a little bit, than Linda arrive and took over

[ame]

12:46 Sulev greeted -linda who was coming.


Linda brought a pine twig this time.

[ame]

Sulev got up and made place for Linda.


12:47 Sulev took off.

[ame]

just a little later some ravens called nearby and Sulev yelled a little to them from the forest.

[IREN-]

Linda attentively looks at eggs listens. It is said that birds exchange remarks with chicks as early as eggs
