Greater and Lesser Spotted Eagles

[IceAge]

Thank you, Hellem. One question already answered .

[IceAge]

CD is asking for food in distance.
Both, the egg and DNA sample are waiting for analyser. Field season still lasts for us...
If it was possible to look, the forum gave a good overview about action in the nest. Unfortunately, too often this stream was interrupted in YT. It was really disturbing to call several times in a day to server guys and ask to restore YT stream. No idea, what is the reason. Some cams stay almost trough the season. Peculiarities of air transmission, the conditions change and we can't see those changes, but interruption.

Hello Urmas,
do you know more by now?

Hellem , Taavi does have a transmitter. Do you know anything about his whereabouts?

[Hellem]

IceAce, Taavi's last data is from 8.04, then he was in southern Belarus

[IceAge]

The direction is right . I hope he arrives in good health.

19:39 A pine marten? visited the nest

[Susanne]

@Hellem: I think so, too!
He comes from here:



Inspects the nest and leaves, all in less than one minute.

Taavi is back home

It was a loudless and short visit, checking on the nest and the cam lense and then maybe away to check what is going on around in the territory



Transmitter visible




I already feared he would dawdle even longer on the way from Latvia to his home territory in Estonia
