Jürgen, you did a great job to record the event so thoroughly. Thanks for telling us all about it.

The two WTE's stayed away for many more than 6 hours, one year, I don't remember exactly, but it was a " -teen" number Maybe 14 or 16? It was a great relief, all around the world, when they returned.

21:38 Two siblings are on the wrong way to the feeding. At the moment only one chick benefits from that fish.

21:43 Clever Kaari bending the neck around Irma's leg to get fish.

Jürgen and all Kotkaklubi Eaglemen - thanks a lot for your report, the great pictures and the story around the event, it is so interesting to learn more about the surrounding, how to trap an eagle, how to climb such a tree (Ülo! ) and much more.

And finally Ilmar and Irma went back to everydays business again with the fish - just good to see

Errrmmm.... I think it could have been a Common Carp

21:37 Today Kaido, Kenno and Kaari have given off to all activities of the ringing no sound, now are, however, continuously in twitter.
They are very hungry and very happy!!

[Owlie]

Moments like this are real highlights of watching the nest cameras!

The life goes on -

21:55 Although they missed some meals today, their crops are full of bites of that last fish. Only one chick begs for food now.
22:00 Fishtail for Irma.

[Riitta]

21:53 Still appetite!

Irma takes to herself great trouble, that everybody of her chicks becomes full.

What a relief... ... yet this all makes me think how vulnerable the wild nature is, I never knew it. and how delicate we - people should be with nature around us .

edit: it does not refer to our guys who are so dedicated, caring, courageous ....

[Riitta]

22:01 Irma takes up the leftovers of the ground.

[Bea]

.....About the fake eagle... I'm guessing soon we will have something better. Perhaps something with a moving head?

... and a tape with WTE calls in its tummy

22.11 Irma leaves.
22.12 She brings a new stick.



22.14 Irma leaves.
Good night.

[Riitta]

22:10 Irma:
What only got rid today?
What unusual, strenuous day.
Well, that Kaido, Kenno and Kaari are healthy and high-spirited - and Ilmar has well also got over all excitement - he has brought a gigantic fish as a supper!


22:11 Irma briefly off - and then back to do housework - then off.


22:29 Night's rest!

Good to see everything is fine and Irma and Illmar were back again and brought some fish.

i think that the Eagle Club should consider getting a new fake WTE. the old one doesn't look quite creadible anymore. no wonder you didn't capture any of the ospreys today. i bet they were giggling to themselves when they saw that "thing".
it has seen its best years sometime in the previous millenium.

Maybe we should make donations for a new fake WTE
