Tiger owl      Kassikakk        Bubo bubo

 

Large birds - the incubation period is long and nest life goes on for a long time. The tiger owl chicks were hatched in the last ten days of April and the incubation lasted 35 days.

In poor summer weather when the birds in the home yard keep in shelter from the rain the doings of birds can be watched by webcam. The nest life of a great tit pair in a tree trunk with a webcam in Läänemaa can for instance be followed. On June 11th there were 3 eggs in this nest and on June 13th 5 eggs. Since a great tit lays one egg a day then the first egg was probably laid on June 9th. How many eggs that will be laid in the clutch will be clear in the next few days.

Morning feeding of chicks

 

Osprey       Kalakotkas        Pandion haliaetus

 

The early morning video shows that the third egg (even if behind the fish to start with) is in the nest.

What happened then since we see only two osprey chicks in the nest?
