This morning at six o’clock

 

White-tailed eagle         Merikotkas       Haliaeëtus albicilla

 

… and not for the first time during the last month. Still the same adult, ringed with the number  E301 and with a nice white tail.

In due time we will find out whom we have to do with.

Young osprey Jaak arrived in the nest without the plastic leg ring that had been tangled in the claws…

Well done, if something disturbs, it has to be gotten rid of.

This was our only hope, and so it happened. The video shows that the use of claws has not been forgotten. Good that we got to know about it through the camera, otherwise it would have remained to bother both the watchers and the eagle-men.

Male Ivo brings fish to the nest. The “ring-fettered” young osprey gets it to eat

The young ospreys are already two and a half months old. But we will not look at this but at the plastic ring that has got tangled on the leg of one young osprey.

Kaja has been left alone at home

 

Osprey    Kalakotkas      Pandion haliaetus

 

The nest life of the nestlings of osprey pair Irma and Ivo started with the hatching of the first chick on June 4th. So all three become two months old in a row.  Flying exercises go on, there is no shortage of food and in flight the weather does not feel so hot.

But osprey knowledge for an osprey life is needed to learn in oh, what amounts…

By now the LK forum members have linked the codes on the leg rings to names for the young birds.

XJ – was given the name Jaak (after the last letter of the ring). The wing length of the oldest osprey chick was 305 mm at the measuring and the weight 1,40 kilos; As a reminder, even with adults the males are smaller and lighter

In the banner of Looduskalender’s opening page the osprey camera image shows as a ”grey” window. Click confidently, the camera works – the defect will be eliminated.

Male Ivo arrives at nest with food

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:

See the video that  Mogga, LK forum, recorded from the web camera:

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

 

Estonian text posted 06.06.2018

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.

June 10th, early morning

Some small adjustments must be made in the hatching timeline of the osprey chicks.

We saw the hatching of the first osprey chick in the nest of Irma and Ivo on June 4. The new generation was increased by the next chick that hatched on June 6th.
