Re: Estonian Osprey Nest (Irma & Ivo) 2018
Good morning
read the Queen is home.
My heart beat in my throat.
A second later I saw EDIT...
We wait! We are waiting for Irma.

a mating and then he flew off.
People, can you please take a look at the ringnumber before you say, you saw our dear Irma? I nearly get heart attacks here.

Wasn't Irma late last year? And maybe the year before, too? Is she a late Osprey? Some are and some are always early. Do not give up hope!
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Good day!
Ivo in and off the nest, bringing a few sticks and making a few nest improvements.

Ivo catching the wind
Irma still has time! The latest she returned was on 29 April (in 2013), so we just have to wait and see.. Would be very good if she comes back before the new lady lays an egg.

Ivo brings a large fish (a carp?) to the lady

Ivo and the lady for a while on the nest. All in all, it is a peaceful day.

Both again there. Ivo low as the grass..

I have a couple of questions regarding the nest.
What came first, the nest or the camera? :-) I mean, did they decide to put the camera where there already were a nest?
Is the nest secured in any way or is it reliable and steady from the beginning when the birds built it?
Is there any climbing help for the guys who go up there? Ropes, "stairs" or something?
How high up is the nest?
Is there a picture from the opposite direction, so you can see the camera and the camera stand?

Sometimes the behavior is strange from Ivo. He was in the nest, the lady came flying in and Ivo showed her his back, means, don't bother me and then he jumped on her back for mating.

You find answers to your questions from the front page of this thread - and from the links to the previous years' threads (front pages). This nest is supported by ornithologists for the first camera year 2013 - as Ilmar's and Irma's old nest had collapsed.

Jenny, when Ivo turns his back to the female and lowers his head, and spreads the wings a bit, he means to demonstrate that he is not a threat to her. This is what all osprey males do - he would also do it with Irma - especially in the beginning. This is a pose of submissiveness, deference to the female.
Afterwards often followed by mating
