Eagle owl       Kassikakk        Bubo bubo

Looduskalender's watchers at once recognize the location of the web camera  at the nest of .the white-tailed eagle pair. In winter members of the Kotkaklubi repaired and secured the nest bottom that fell apart during the previous season but this year the white-tailed eagles nest in their ”second nest” and so this year there will be no transmission from the white-tail eagle camera. Man proposes, nature disposes.

Yesterday Klaara returned from her evening trip just before midnight. It can be said with certainty that the egg was laid today, March 19th.

So the first egg on March 16th and the second on March 19th. In a full clutch there are often three to five eggs, the interval between layings two or three days.

The rains of the last few  days have reduced the snow cover in southern Estonia significantly. The southerly winds help the movements of migratory birds – life goes steadily towards spring. It is a good time to end  the small bird feeder camera transmission. Our thanks to all viewers!

When it is time for Klaara to set out on her usual ”evening adventure” then today she sits in the nest and for a moment the egg too is visible which Shanta has recorded in the video too.
