Looduskalender

We hope to have also have the chance to again watch the Latvian Lesser Spotted Eagle's nest life.
It is announced for April 2014 - http://www.pomarina.lv/#WebCam

April 27: We have been informed by lianaliesma that a Latvian LSE camera has started to work. It seems not to be the one showing Mētra and Mačo as in the previous years. In the Latvian forum I found that they expect more information about this nest from Dr. Bergmanis in the evening. I will add it as it becomes available for me.

Bea found a VLC stream, though rather unstable at the moment: rtsp://rafale.grafton.lv/live/mazaiserglis

German viewers can view the cam also through: http://www.schreiadler.org (embedded flashplayer) - it has also not yet started as of April 27 (13:30 German time)
Update May 8 - the transmission on the German website has started as well.

Update May 7: It seems there are problems on the nest which was seen on camera. The stream was today switched to the Mētra and Mačo nest we know from previous years. One eagle is sitting on an egg, it is not clear, if it is Mačo and Mētra has left the nest already.

Update May 9: the transmission is interrupted, the camera battery apparently got discharged and has to be re-charged

Facts about the 2014 season

April 25 15:50 - first egg

May 1 ? - second egg is seen

The camera stream was switched over to the Mētra and Mačo nest we know from previous years

May 7 - one egg is in the nest already - no information about the day it was laid yet

As we have no date, we don't know when hatch watch should start, some time from the beginning of June. We also can't be sure the egg is fertile!

Reserved

As far as I can see the new nest is not the Mētra/Mačo one, I will change everything to whatever I find out in due course of time, but for observations this topic is open now!

April 27

Latvian LSE cam is open!
Information about this nest will follow!

13.14 Calling and waiting for food ... first egg laid April 25, at 15.50, the second egg is expected today...

Very exciting! Thank you lianaliesma and Felis, I look forward to more information

14:37 - Female (I assume) in the nest, on the egg, she is calling. It´s so nice to hear it again The cam is on and off, at least on my computer..


And the second egg is expected today..

Both streams, JW-Player via the wegpage, as well as VLC, work very unstable, also here for me, Lussi!

Let`s hope, that there will be not the second egg...

Hellem and Bea So it´s not only here then.

14:51 - I didn´t see it, but she was probably rolling the egg. Then she was preening a bit, and changing her position..

14:54 - She was preening, and changing her position

Yes, here both streams do not stay on, I have to turn them on again and again. Maybe it is getting better.

Second egg? The first one came on 25th? I think today is too early. Difference according to book knowledge (and previous observations) is 3 to 4 days.

this is really a really great surprise.Thanks
Lesser Spotted Eagle are my great passion

15.55


15.57 Calling...


15.58 Nest bowl is rather deep.

I just read the Latvian-cam is online again . Thanks a lot to lianaliesma and Felis for the update. What very nice news on this rainy sunday.

No connection to the cam for me

I tried it only once today but also no cam for me

Here too, VLC crashed a long time ago and the JW player stream does not turn on again



(also Konnakotkas is more of than on)

28 April - Still no cam in the early morning:(

No cam, it's sad. Hope comes back quickly. Would like to see an occupied nest...

I was lucky and could catch some pictures.
But the cam seems to be damaged. Mostly one can see only a multicolored, strange screen. What a pity!

16:00 incubation.

Thank you Michi!
I just open the cam and yeees! The female(?) lies in the nest and calls, I love these calls.
