After the ringing of the eagle chicks yesterday (Friday) the large and prudent adults have not come to the nest. Calls of the female as well as male can be heard near the nest.

There is no risk of the chicks starving, their bodies are already adapted for such events. Don’t worry – we are sure that the adults will appear at the nest because in earlier years too similar situations have occurred (and occur elsewhere in the world too as we have seen in camera view).

Please check the forum where each moment is recorded: LINK

White-tailed eagle     Merikotkas       Haliaeetus albicilla

Urmas took the trouble to climb to the nest with a rope, without using climbing irons. The trunk of the nest tree is not large enough.

Rings are in place on legs, the eagle chicks measured and weighed.

Black stork   Must-toonekurg       Ciconia nigra

The two bigger storklets are only three days old, one is a day younger which shows too, but all are well and sturdy.

Adults Kati and Karl have spent the last few days in waiting, as have we. Late on Monday night two eggs were already ”talking”, with small holes in the eggshells.

By early morning one eggshell was already lifted on to the edge of the nest and Kati showed us two hatched stork chicks. Congratulations!

On Tuesday we could observe in the nest box camera (nest box 3) how a wryneck plundered the great tit nest. The video shows the wryneck throwing 10 eggs out of the nest and also part of the nest material
