On Saturday morning, at a quarter to eight, it seemed that Klaara had laid an egg. We could not be quite certain but had to wait until evening.

There are always reasons to get out in the evening: legs and wings need stretching, some food would be nice, company kept with Klaus.  And at 19.48 the second egg could be seen, before flying out Klaara turned the eggs with some clatter.

As in earlier years, I will make a summary of the weather year in 2015 too.

The year before there was enough snow at the turn of the year to hang in generous swathes from the eaves but in January 2015 the ground was mostly only barely covered. The year started with a flood on January 2nd in Haapsalu.

The final part of egg-laying looks like this

When we saw the first egg of female eagle Anna in the morning mists of Women’s Day, we prepared to expect the second egg on Friday afternoon, or before the camera ends its transmission in the evening and so it was.
