Osprey Kalakotkas Pandion haliaetus
In the banner of Looduskalender’s opening page the osprey camera image shows as a ”grey” window. Click confidently, the camera works – the defect will be eliminated.

Black stork Must-toonekurg Ciconia nigra
There is less down left on the stork chicks thanks to their own nibbling as well as that of the siblings, as a pastime. So they also get rid of parasites in the nest and birds have plenty of them. The older ones and the a couple of days younger ones can be distinguished by the length of their beaks.
Nest life lasts long for the stork chicks. In about three weeks they start flight exercises, then life gets interesting again.

I have followed the seal camera at Innarahu on the Saaremaa western coast constantly besides the other Looduskalender web cameras.
At the moment I see on the screen grey geese, mallards, mew gulls, great black-backed gulls and herring gulls, arctic terns and oystercatchers and at sea the male eiders that begin their moulting.
Most of them besides the terns and oystercatchers are non-breeding ”lazers” that are in no hurry anywhere and with the foraging raids of white-tailed eagles on the islets the only worry.

Bear; Brown bear Karu or pruunkaru Ursus arctos
Meeting a bear is a great occasion. No matter that it is a young animal that in the video pursues a strange smell by sniffing, then retreats, with dignity.
We should have to do with a two and a half years old male bear that is not yet quite an adult. It did not participate in the mating season this year

White-tailed eagle Merikotkas Haliaeëtus albicilla
Only two supporting branches are left of the crumbling nest of the white-tailed eagle family after two weeks. The stormy days and heavy showers in the week of course caused worries but everything passed without particular incidents.
The eagle chick is two months, it has learnt climbing and keeping balance and no ”silly feats” were undertaken in the strong wind – so its physical training should be good.
In the badger castle there have been animal family idylls as well as life-threatening fights, and as visitors we have seen elks, deer and roe deer. The castle with 19 openings must accommodate at least a raccoon dog family with seven offspring, and a badger pair with two cubs – if all are at home.
We don’t really know thoroughly what the relationship between the badgers and the racoons in the badger castle might be. The occasion when the raccoon dog attacked the badger cub in camera view brought up a discussion of the harsh laws of nature and how these two species might be able to manage their lives side by side in a badger castle.

A moment before the ”full mark” but the culprit has been registered
…and who dares say that the eaglet is not well fed?
After some time - but will the rain tomorrow manage to wash some of it off?

Male Ivo arrives at nest with food
Osprey Kalakotkas Pandion haliaetus
The osprey chicks that hatched in the drought period knew almost nothing about anything but summery weather until the stormy day yesterday with gale winds but then mother Irma was there to cover the chicks carefully:

White-tailed eagle Merikotkas Haliaeëtus albicilla
For about ten days the eagle nest has been crumbling. Good at least that heavy rain or a serious storm has not occurred in the camera area.
