Estonian White-tailed Sea Eagle Nest Camera 2023

[Susanne]

17:17: I thought Ella would start to feed - but she flies to the left in a wide circle.
17:23: Oooh, a new sound - a little desperate - but that's human interpretation.
17:27: The eaglet's voice is changing?

Frustration ...



and relief:



Elmar returns with something which looks like fish and starts feeding - after having had some bites himself.
17:51/52: Feeding is finished, Elmar goes to the branch at the left, the eaglet goes to sleep.

[Susanne]

18:36: Ella comes home with a 'swoosh!' and a bunch of nest material. Elmar flies over to the observation tree - straight ahead, then a turn to the right behind the birches.



19:17: It has eaten, mother Ella is there, it is sleepy - but it 'meeps' a lot. Some kind of "inner-eaglet-discomfort".
19:48: Ella spreads the material she has brought, digs up the bowl - which the eaglet doesn't like, the kid is getting snappy!



Perhaps the insects bother it - or the feather growth - or all of it?

20:34: Synchro-preening.



Yes, itchy business today.

[Susanne]

20:45 ff.: Ella tries to make it more comfortable for her eaglet: she digs up the bowl.

[Susanne]

Note: I'll be away a few days (family meeting), back on Tuesday, May 30, late afternoon. I won't be able to post something tomorrow morning (or in the next days) - I have to catch a train after work...please stay true to the eagles and continue documentation. Thank you! Until next week!
