Feather tips on the head are still white. Remnants of the down feathers. So a juvenile of this year

Good morning Liz01 and everyone!

i have several questions regarding the events in this nest.
First, let me tell you that I do not know the WTEs on this nest very well. I simply lost track yesterday: who was who? And I could not - but I am still a "newbie" - interpret the sounds (calls, crying, whining etc.)
I have seen some similar situations when a young eagle visits a nest with a couple sitting on it, but the encounters I saw were usually rather short and quite clearly determined: "Occupied! - I see.-Now go. - OK"
The constant "whining" of the eaglet here: Is this a submissive voice telling the Oldies: "I do not want to hurt you, I just need company"?
And second: How common is such a behaviour of such a young 1st Y eaglet?

...i have several questions regarding the events in this nest.

Susanne, good morning great to see you here.
ame (Durbe thread) can best answer these questions. I learned from her and I'm still learning.


a quick detection of who is in the nest, male or female, is when they call. The voices differ significantly.
Silva and Sliters have different external characteristics.
Silva has a scar on her beak below her nostril. Male &female tail feathers are of course different.
Sliterts still has amber eyes
Silva's eyes are already very bright

How quickly a juvenile is chased away from the nest depends on the season. There is no breeding season at the moment, so the adults don't react as violently.
I don't think juveniles are submissive.
this juvenile is from this year. So extremely young . I think the adults don't take it seriously at all. He is just a annoying

[Susanne]

Thank you very much Liz01!
This makes it a lot clearer for me now. OK, if they can deal with this "annoying" youngster ...

[Liz01]

18:09:50 Silva came home


they work together with the branches


18:18:45 Sliters went on the left branch out of sight

6:46 he is still on the dead tree

[Liz01]

7:01 Sliters brings a huge green branch

[Liz01]

7:04 Silva is flying around

Sliters






7:09 A eagle is calling outside the nest. A very short call. Male, female? juvenile?

[Liz01]

7:10 both are working with the branches


7:11 love is in the air




eaglet? out side the nest is calling every now and then.. very short. too short to tell whether adult or juvenile

[Liz01]

Sliters is pulling Silva's feathers and sings a bit to his Silva


7:13 Silva flew away

7:14 Sliteres left the nest too

[Liz01]

BTW: The camera position will be corrected. And I hope it will be fixed in such a way that no eagle can change it again

7:28 he flew to the left

[Abigyl]

will it be a third year with babies or with nothing... like previous winters?

They are beauties like Estonian Anna (and Uku). She was special
