Tõnn calls eaglet to evening feeding

Greater spotted eagle   Suur-konnakotkas   Aquila clanga or Clanga clanga

Yesterday the image from the webcam was restored. In the evening we could see the juvenile being fed by the male and also called to the nest – the young bird moves around near the nest. The male visited the nest this morning too but in evening light the image from the camera was clearer.

rMother Tiiu brings rodent to nest and nobody needs to assist the eaglet at eating any longer

While the month-old eaglet still had to be coddled by the mother then a strong development towards independence has taken place during the last week.

… and such the procedure is  – male Tõnn brings the prey to the nest and the female feeds the eaglet. Although the female too is away from the nest ever more often and for longer periods.

Birthday child

The time has passed quietly and seemingly unnoticed, and the eaglet became three weeks old in the care of its parents.

Mother Tiiu feeds the eagle-to-be

So the eagle chick has become one week old in the forest.

The nest life of rare greater spotted eagles Tiiu and Tõnn proceeds in the peaceful silence of the forest.

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.
