The osprey chicks that hatched in the drought period knew almost nothing about anything but summery weather until the stormy day yesterday with gale winds but then mother Irma was there to cover the chicks carefully:

For about ten days the eagle nest has been crumbling. Good at least that heavy rain or a serious storm has not occurred in the camera area.

There are two web cameras at osprey nests in Estonia, one in  Võru County (Võrumaa) and the other in Tartu  County (Tartumaa).

The Tartu  County nest we can watch from 2013 onwards

The Tartu County camera nest we built in the winter of 2013 to replace the natural nest that had fallen down and which was located about 50 m away. The osprey pair at once accepted the artificial nest as their own. The history of the nest can be read on the introductory page of the forum.
