It`s possible that the pair of ospreys in Tartumaa webcamera have completed the clutch. On the early morning of May 16th, at 6 a.m., female bird laid her third egg. On a couple of occasions, also four eggs have been found in a clutch in Estonia, but no more than three fledged eaglets have ever been seen here. However, our southern neighbours, Latvians, find a fledged four-eaglet nest almost every year.  According to Latvian osprey specialist Aigars Kalvāns even four such nests were found in 2008. If everything works out well, the third eaglet of this clutch should see daylight on Midsummer`s Eve or even a couple of days earlier.
