Male Ivo must be praised

Osprey          Kalakotkas            Pandion haliaetus 

In the Kalakotkas 2 camera nest in Tartumaa the eagle chicks have become a week on average. The first were hatched on June 4 and 5 and the smallest among the chicks on June 7.

In the forum the regular viewers praise male Ivo (to the left in the photo and ringed) compared to male Marko from the Võrumaa nest. The daily catch of fish is 6:5 to the advantage of Ivo.

At noon the second chick in the nest was hatched.

In the video we can see male Marko at the left  and mother Miina feeding the chicks. It seems as if family life in the nest is still a little strange to Miina and she must listen to her maternal instincts, or maybe this is her first clutch? From what do we conclude this: yesterday she tried to feed a chick still in the egg shell … But surely she will adapt to the circumstances.

..yes, only two eggs in the nest but they were three …

In the osprey webcam 2 we now see only two eggs in the nest – what has happened in the nest of Miina and Marko?

Last year also an egg disappeared from a  nest but then the whole event was witnessed by viewers .

Female Iiris laying the third egg

Osprey      Kalakotkas         Pandion haliaetus

 

In the Osprey 2 nest the female laid the third egg into the nest. Witnesses to the occasion: a pair of collared doves in a dried tree further away.

The female laid the first egg on April 28th, the second one already  the next day, April 29th, and the third one in the cold morning of May 2nd.

Two nice eggs and both adults in camera view

Osprey        Kalakotkas     Pandion haliaetus

The new osprey pair has been named Miina (the female) and  Marko (the male)by the forum members.

On Sunday, April 21st, Miina laid the first egg. Ospreys as a rule lay the eggs with an interval of a day because the creation of the large egg in the body of the female takes time. In the second half of Tuesday the second egg was in the nest, thus on April 23rd.

Yesterday evening the female laid the first egg into the nest.

This osprey nest has not been used for  breeding for some years. We  may have to do with a wholly new osprey pair and with a female laying eggs for the first time.

In the video we see the osprey pair together. The smaller male flies up from the nest and when he arrives back  with a pine branch we also see for a moment the egg of the young female with its multicoloured shell.
