Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina) nest in Zemgalē, Latvia 2025

[BDrieliņi]

18:37: Andris with a vole (? tail not so long)
Anna trills Andris away and pokes in her nest bowl.
18:46 ff.: Shrill voices can be heard. Has Andris met a goshawk? Long goshawk whistles and calls. Anna is listening and watching.
Ah, thank you Feja, YT-chat, , quote:":5:57 PM Feja ​​Labvakar! 18.42 Miks atnesa medījumu. Andris droši vien redzēja." -GT:"Good evening! 18.42 Mick brought the game < = prey>. Andris probably saw it."
18:59: Anna trills at Andris, branching at the right. He has just come back from his goshawk encounter.
He leaves and flies away to the left.

Good day!

09:58: We start with a vole (I think).





First twist of the routine: Anna doesn't swallow it, neither does she fly away with it - she eats it on the nest.

Eating and trilling, while Andris takes care of the eggs.

10:05: Anna advances and tells Andris to leave.



10:08: Andris returns with a pine branch for Anna.
11:38: Andris with a vole. This time, Anna swallows it at once.



14:35: Anna sees Andris, begging pose on the nest (indicated wing movement), then she flies over to the obs.trees.Some short calls.-> food delivery there.
14:45: Andris takes care of the eggs.
14:56: Anna returns and branches below the front entry, then jumps onto the nest and tells Andris to leave.
15:10: Prey no.4. Next twist in the routine: the food is deposited in the pantry. Yeah!

[Susanne]

First, a big thank you to Baiba for the video !

Second: I guess it's pretty clear that Anna knows more than we see. Eating food in pieces, not gulping it down; today, she has declared the pantry open.
You can see egg#1 very often, just like now:
