Goshawks are incubating on the eggs for 35-38 days. The fifth egg was laid 2. April, so it's 38 days tomorrow. I don't think they will hatch. I don't hope they will either, three is enough (in my eyes)

It was hailing on the nest a few minutes ago. :(
Poor Mama! Now it is light snow.
The chicks are well covered.

11:38 Goshawk chick tries to eat the still alive chick. It is hard to watch, but it is nature. (It reminds me of the Latvian WTE nest 2014. Lubana brought a living gull to the nest. Makonite got it. It was a bit bad.
Please be careful! It's not nice to see such a thing. But they have to learn, how to kill a prey, if they want survive.

The chicks are so lively and powerful. Is nobody interested in this nest? This is a pity.

The city noises are a bit of a drawback to me.

We (my Gf and I) are absolutly new to any kind of bird/nature watch via webcam, we had to look something up about gosehawks in the german wikipedia, and it linked us to the gosehawk webcam around the 15th of May. Since then, we where hooked, we love Mum, Dad and the 3 kids.
Thanks to the ldf.lv people for going thru all the trouble of making this possible - you people rock.
Yesterday evening we only saw Dad visiting the kids for like 5 Min or so, then comming back a while later and going to sleep on the nest, and the kids kind of copying him and sleeping - no mum, no feeding (as far as we watched).
Today in the Morning there where only the kids, and some mashine noise that i didnt pay mutch attention to at that time, since a few hours now, the camera is offline. - We hope so much that nothing bad happend to the nest.
EDIT: one more thing: yesterday evening 2 people walked thru the upper left corner of the cam view, they where only to be seen for a second or so, but maybe its a good idea to safekeep these recordings.

The camera is running again.
It's all right there. The 3 chicks grow and are almost as big as the parents. I have not noticed any lack of feed. They will not be ringing this year.
PS I do not need the sound, the pictures reach me. The background noise is not nice.
