The buzzard chicks have names

In both the buzzard nests with webcams there are three chicks, and they are not all alike. Even viewers who have watched only a little longer can see the differences between the chicks, and quite a number of different names were offered as a result. Some names however came up more often. Those with the most votes are noted below.
The adults were once given their names in the same way - Mari and Mihkel (nest camera – Buzzard1); Katrin and Kalju (nest camera – Buzzard2).
The names of the chicks of buzzards Mari and Mihkel are:
Max – largest and oldest chick
Midi – middle chick
Maimu – smallest chick

The names of the chicks of buzzards Katrin and Kalju are:
Boss – largest and oldest chick
Kalle – middle chick
Kulla – smallest chick

Boss, Kalle and Kulla are about a week younger than Max, Midi and Maimu. This is of course also visible in their appearances. But in about a month these young buzzards should be flying – we will see whether the prediction turns out to be correct. Until then they have to eat a large number of mice…
