Text from YouTube info box

In der Burgruine brüten die Uhus wieder am selben Brutplatz wie im Vorjahr. Nachdem am 19.02.24 das erste von mittlerweile 4 Eiern gelegt wurde, hoffen wir auf einen reibungslosen Ablauf der Brut und Schlupf der Jungen nach ca. 35 Tagen. Ein weiterer Uhubrutplatz ist via Livecam im felsigen Ahrtal zu sehen. Den Zugang gibt es auf unserer Website egeeulen.de – dort findest du auch ein Tagebuch mit weiteren Informationen zum Geschehen an den Brutstätten.

–––

Liebe Uhu-Fans, wir vom EGE-Team sind leider nicht allzeit bereit, um zu moderieren oder zu kommentieren. Die praktischen Arbeiten im Eulenschutz wollen organisiert und durchgeführt sein und wir sind mit unseren Kapazitäten am Anschlag. Wir freuen uns aber sehr über das rege Interesse und wünschen spannende Beobachtungen in unserem Live-Stream. Vielleicht mögen erfahrene Uhu-Cam-Beobachter manch aufkommende Fragen im Chat beantworten.

Wir möchten betonen, dass wir uns vor allem sachliche Kommentare und themenbezogene Unterhaltungen wünschen, mit so wenig privaten Gesprächen wie möglich. Auch die Zuschreibung menschlicher Eigenschaften in der Betrachtung der Tiere verhindert ein angemessenes Verständnis ihrer natürlichen Verhaltensweisen und Bedürfnisse. Selbstverständlich gehört ein gewisses Maß an Vermenschlichung in der Betrachtung der Uhubelange dazu, und auch wir können uns davon nicht frei machen. Gleichzeitig ist es wichtig anzuerkennen, dass die Natur nicht immer schön ist und auch Grausamkeiten beinhaltet, die nicht fair oder gerecht erscheinen mögen. Wir danken euch für euer Verständnis und eure Unterstützung bei der Wahrung eines respektvollen und ausgewogenen Diskussionsklimas.

Zum Brutplatz: Wir werden zum Schutz der Vögel den Standort nicht bekanntgeben. Für den Erhalt der Ruine wird gesorgt, vor Kurzem wurde dort noch ein wenig instandgesetzt, um den weiteren Verfall zu bremsen. Nun ist erstmal Ruhe für die Brutzeit der Uhus. Alle Beteiligten sind begeisterte Uhu-Beobachter via Webcam, und es ist ihnen am Wohl der Uhus sehr gelegen. Die Bühne in der Burgruine ermöglicht uns Einblicke, die an der Ahr aufgrund der dort unübersichtlichen Felsformation und der Kameraperspektive unmöglich waren. Wir danken den Eigentümern des Geländes für die freundliche Erlaubnis.

In the castle ruins, the eagle owls are breeding again at the same breeding site as last year. After the first of 4 eggs was laid on February 19, 2024, we hope that the breeding and hatching of the young will go smoothly after about 35 days. Another eagle owl breeding site can be seen via livecam in the rocky Ahr valley. You can access it on our website egeeulen.de - there you will also find a diary with further information about what is happening at the breeding sites.

–––

Dear eagle owl fans, unfortunately we on the EGE team are not always available to moderate or comment. The practical work in owl protection needs to be organized and carried out and we are at our limits. We are very pleased about the great interest and hope you enjoy exciting observations in our live stream. Perhaps experienced eagle owl cam observers will be able to answer some of your questions in the chat.

We would like to emphasize that we want above all factual comments and topic-related conversations, with as few private conversations as possible. The attribution of human characteristics when viewing animals also prevents an adequate understanding of their natural behavior and needs. Of course, a certain degree of humanization is required when considering the issues of eagle owls, and we cannot free ourselves from this either. At the same time, it is important to recognize that nature is not always beautiful and also contains cruelties that may not seem fair or just. We thank you for your understanding and support in maintaining a respectful and balanced discussion climate.

About the breeding site: To protect the birds, we will not disclose the location. Care is being taken to preserve the ruins; a little repair was recently carried out to slow down further deterioration. Now there is peace and quiet for the breeding season of the eagle owls. All those involved are enthusiastic eagle owl watchers via webcam and are very concerned about the well-being of the eagle owls. The stage in the castle ruins gives us insights that were impossible on the Ahr due to the confusing rock formations and the camera perspective. We would like to thank the owners of the site for their kind permission.

Rats are the main diet.
Male brings them to the nest or waits upstairs over the cam with the prey.
Female takes the rats out of the nest for eating, absence is about five minutes.
