Actually birthday rings – on Friday the eaglet will be one and a half months old.

Of course Renno also turned the camera back into place during the ringing and fastened it more securely.

Looking back in time we see how the nest life of Irma and Ivo has changed. On June 4 we noticed the first hatching chick in the nest.

Male Tõnn brings rodents to the nest for female Tiiu to feed the chick

Actually this story waited to be written when the second eagle chick would have hatched.

As we know female Tiiu laid the first egg in the nest on April 22 and the next on April 25 or 26. Greater spotted eagles start incubating immediately after the first egg has been laid.

So it happened yesterday as Suvi arrived at the nest.

Presently we see only the heads of the birds and the camera can be redirected on to the nest only by the Eagle Club investigators. The question is of course when? – When the eagle chick will be ringed.

We will let you know when something is happening.

Only practice makes a master

The eaglet that was hatched on April 24 has almost no downy feathers any longer. By and by it learns to eat by itself. It will take about one more month for the eaglet to be able to fly.

Early summer arrived early this year, it has been hot and by now there is already drought and the seawater .level has stayed low.

Everyone seems to have eaten and are well. A peaceful nest life!.
