White-tailed eagle     Merikotkas       Haliaeëtus albicilla

After a week nothing is left of the white-tailed eagles’ nest. After the storm the adults fed the eaglets frequently (in a storm fishing is not possible even for eagles) and kept close to the nest (providing support to the eaglets?).

White-tailed eagle    Merikotkas     Haliaeëtus albicilla

A severe storm the whole Saturday and there was already a fear that the right-hand part of the nest had fallen down with an eaglet. From 6 o’clock the storm started to abate, and bird calls were heard from the nest forest but there are still strong winds.

Only remnants of the nest remain but all barely fledged eaglets have stood up to the harsh ordeal. Nearby the calls of the adult birds can be heard.

The large birds must manage with a smaller nest area

White-tailed eagle    Merikotkas        Haliaeëtus albicilla

The rains of the last few days have soaked the eagle nest through and through, in addition there have been strong gusts of wind.

The nest area has become clearly smaller but the eaglets are already at an age when they are able to get across shorter distances by flying.

Buzzard       Hiireviu       Buteo buteo

For some days now the microphone at the buzzard nest camera has not been working. On Friday it was taken down; there are no repair facilities in the forest. Hopefully it will be in working order next week.
