[Cessie]

Ohhh! So it was Teo, with the fish tail
I was hoping that it was the new female.

Cessie, good morning

you may recognize if you watch his left eye, there is a remarkable horizontal stroke on 3:oo
(please watch the picture below 06:33:02)

[balistar]

06:28 Teo flies in with a thick stick and starts nestwork


he is looking around, 06:42 he flies off


06:47 back with a bunch of hay

[balistar]

06:47 Teo chirps, looks around and has an empty crop


06:54 flies off


08:14 returned and brought a complicated branch with nice cones - decoration ?

[balistar]

08:17 Teo digging vigorously in the nest bowl




hay all over his back

[balistar]

08:20 someone is flying above


there is someone flying (upper right corner)


Teo is looking in this direction (i think it was not the female)

[balistar]

08:22 Teo's crop is empty


08:23 flies off, time for breakfast ?


08:29 no, first brings another stick

[balistar]

08:29 places it


08:30 preens a bit


08:30 and flies off, now breakfast ?

[balistar]

11:11 Teo back with a big half eaten fish


11:12 waits a moment and looks around


11:12 flies off with his fish

[balistar]

11:12 fly off to the right with fish

[balistar]

12:03 Teo returned to nest with the half eaten fish


not found the Lady ?


takes off again with his fish


Unfortunately it doesn't look like the female comes back :(
I feel sooo sorry for Teo

He gave it all, showed her how diligent, hard-working he is and how well he can feed and care for a family. But the female most likely was not interested in that all, only in the fish on her stop-over, maybe she was on her way to her home nest.

[Jojo]

Poor Teo.
So hardworking. So attentive ....So lonely.

[Gavril]

Hello, dear friends! Thanks for the reports and pictures, balistar! But as it's a shame, that female just rested and flew further. She must have a partner waiting for her somewhere. It seems that Teo in the new season will remain childless! 13:35. Teo in the nest with a piece of fish. He's lonely...

[Gavril]

14:14. Teo is here again with a piece of fish. Well as so! Where young ospreys, ready to to gain beautiful a fisherman-husband!?

[balistar]

Gavril, Jojo

13:20/13:21 he was calling and sooo intensly looking up in the sky above him







Yes, Gavril, it seems so, this wonderful good fellow might stay lonely and childless this season. If i only could, i would send him a beautiful, willingly female.
There are so many diligent and reliable husbands who are waiting endlessly (and maybe in vain) for their mate this season (Bubo, Kaupo....). It's such a pity.

[Hellem]

15:12 At last Teo ate this fish himself, he swallowed the last piece, poor Teo

Gavril, balistar , thank you

[Abigyl]

The only song I hear in my ears... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_P-v1BVQn8

Poor Teo !! Hope there's still some luck....

[balistar]

14:37 Teo took off with his big half eaten fish
14:40 returned with the fish

14:44 waiting..... (this stump is exposed again and also an extension of it)


15:01 started to eat it himself


15:12 swallowed the fishtail


Teo continued with nestworking, moved branches, bite a few times on this exposed stump, dug in the nest bowl, waited.

15:24 Teo called and flew off to the left
15:24:56 one could see him (Teo ?) soaring the sky
15:25 someone (Teo ?) landed on the cam stand

[Gavril]

And Irma's not coming back.....how sad! 15:22. Teo peers at the horizon. It is now and again corrects the nest, removes sticks and corrects the bowl. How hard life is for migrating birds. 15:24. Teo saw something and flew off to patrol the nest site.







Hellem! Jojo!

In 2013, Piret returned on April 26. In Latvian nests, it seems to me, couples returned a little earlier than in Estonian. Unlike Teo, I lost hope.

[balistar]

Hellem, Abigyl

15:35 Teo back to nest with some dark fluff


15:37 Teo flies off


15:41 it started raining, Teo in with a bunch of hay and continues nestwork
