Friday's ”talker”  is about to hatch, in the last egg there is a large hole showing that eagle chick twins are going to hatch on Saturday. Congratulations!

After Saturday night it can be confidently stated that all Klaara´s eggs in the nest have hatched. The first trio was hatched by the evening of April 12 (who did so and when only Klaara knows) when what had taken place in the nest became visible on Klaara’s exit flight. On Friday night we noticed egg shells near the three chicks and on Saturday night the foursome was caught in the webcap by Maggy, LK forum.

Actually the eggs had already been carefully scrutinised in the morning – what and how? In windless weather the ”squeaking” would have been heard earlier.

So on Saturday we will see the second hatched eagle chick….

Yesterday morning first-time mother Anna had to feed the newly hatched chick for the first time. There was no doubt that the instincts developed over the millennia would not start working, but sometimes it may happen that a bond between the female and the chicks is not created. Today things already run nicely, but a good thing that no new chicks have hatched in the nest…
