Lesser spotted eagles leaving Estonia
Text: Urmas Sellis, Eagle Club
Translation: Liis
The LSE nest camera viewers have had rather few events to watch for nearly a month already. In the nest of Eha and Koit all has taken place just as it has done for centuries. This year two eggs were laid and hatched, and one of the young fledged – Spot (as the eaglet was named by the viewers). Eha is probably already on her way to Africa, and Koit feeds Spot less and less often – but in the mornings the young spotted eagle can be heard begging for food. Obviously Spot catches his own prey too, but of course it is easier to be fed by daddy ...
During the last few days I have observed some of this year’s juveniles migrating southwards, so it is reasonable to believe that Spot too will be on his way quite soon. And then he has only his own resources to rely on!
We will leave the nest camera in place (if the technology keeps up): viewers still hope to hear Spot’s voice there, and the nest is sometimes visited by other guests too ... see mms://tv.eenet.ee/konnakotkas .
