In the starling nest with the webcam soap opera-like events took place yesterday, April 26th. At 10.40 am a female bird arrived at the nest box, quickly laid an egg and left. About an hour later the male starling arrived and threw the egg out of the nest. About ten minutes later another female starling arrived unexpectedly and also laid an egg in the nest. At 12.20 the male arrived again and threw this egg too out.

See video clips of the events after the text.

Eagle owl        Kassikakk      Bubo bubo

The two chicks of the eagle owl pair were hatched on the night to April 23. The incubation period of the large birds is long, up to 35 days. The three eggs laid in the nest we saw already on March 27 when the webcam transmission started.

It is said to be a fortunate occasion when a bird lands on you.

When female Kati returned to the nest after forty minutes after her night-time egg-laying, Karl who had been keeping the eggs warm was already covered by snow.

It seems as if the arrival of spring has stopped.
