Goshawk nest in Riga 2023

[Polly]

16:26 two short sounds in the tree

'28 Whispering Feathers, multiple times

'30 calls from H21

There were other calls before, unfortunately I was busy - no timestamp

[Polly]

Completely forgotten in the rush although I often touch these pictures of my calendar every day and I feel one...

February


March


I try to be on time from April


18:50 Geese

What a crazy season.

Sleep well!
Thank you!

Precious and powerful goshawks, they also have their age. What a contrast to the smoothness of our H44.

The camera is already transmitting in Scotland but it is private, it is not open.

Thanks and rest.

Good morning together!

Team H is already in the field. With sound - without picture.

09:17 Both and crows are calling
'18 H21 to hear

09:23 Crows clatter through the tree

In this hour there are numerous, very different calls - from 'Gjak' to melodic excitement, everything is included. Mostly from H21.

09:44 mating

[Polly]

10:21 H21 calls
...and H44 brings a branch to the nest.






He fiddles with other branches a bit and jumps onto the top branch.

10:23 H21 calls again
'25 'Gjak'

'26 twice 'Gjak' ...Offer?

Pairing #2!
(one can be seen flying)

[Polly]

10:33 The wind plays with a branch and makes you think it's newly laid.

In fact, the couple stays close but can only be heard:
10:37, '47 H21 calling energetically

[Emi7]

This morning the first sounds were at 6:44:22, earlier than any day.

There is still hope even though it may not seem like it. What happens is that they have been in trouble for a long time and they have had to readapt.
We also know that this couple does not stand out for the regularity in the construction and in the previous visits to the nest but that they end up laying, caring for and taking out their chicks as all the other couples (and very well !!!).

Greetings

Hi emi you can get loch garten goshawk live camera on you tube

[Polly]

12:00 - 13:00 Colorful mixture of goshawk and crow.
12:01 A goshawk flutters silently up a nearby tree and then leaves it again.


Very many approaches by crows to the nest tree, also a lot of movement directly in the nest tree.
It is not possible to see whether one of the couple was present, but it is conceivable.

The pair can be heard with many calls, sometimes closer sometimes further but mostly energetic.

13:00 The crows are slowly leaving - at least one of the team is staying. 13:05 call

13:15 Time for the little ones to visit the nest.

[Polly]

13:21/22 Who do we hear?

Hello Peregrine, welcome.

This year it appears that the Scottish chamber is limited to registered members of the Association.

Some of its members usually put moments from day to day on their channels.

This couple here is lovely, they raised three chicks in their first year in 2021 and four in 2022. They get along very well with each other and we'll be so glad they do it again this year even though they haven't been around much. If all goes well in the next two or three days they will lay the first egg.

On the first page of the years they've been you have a full personal story from Polly and the moderators.

Greetings

If all goes well in the next two or three days they will lay the first egg.

But now you surprise me.

It's time for a little bet.
Yes, I still believe in a brood here, but let me look at my work schedule - no, that doesn't fit. I would like to be there.

[Polly]

16:32 There is a call in the park
'42 'Gjak' in the tree
and a little further away H21 can be heard again.

Welcome back Team H!

crows...
'44 H21

'58 closer now

17:07 H44 brings a small branch
...just in - just out.





PS: H44 on March 23, 2021

17:10 The Jay answers.

'16 The angry call of a blackbird and a heated approach from H44 & H21.
pairing


'26 again a mating intention but seems H21 declines.

[Polly]

17:29 H44 is planning bigger things.

He brings a very stable branch.




Put it down and flutter onto the side branch.

[Polly]

18:17 The couple babbles.
And the two can definitely be counted on, whatever has led to this stop & go season.


See you!

[Polly]

Good morning everyone!



07:27 clear, bright call. Possibly H44?

Then nothing (or I missed it).

The little ones are more awake!
11:00 The siskin slips into the nest, well camouflaged.


11:08 and a blue tit collects little treasures for itself.

11:00 The siskin slips into the nest, well camouflaged.

11:43/44 Now there are a few more - males and females.

11:51 Woodpecker is calling (alarmcalls?)
