Estonian Tawny Owl Webcam 2016

[-Thumper-]

Cars are scary. Back into the box.

The last 1 minute is always = only 1 second

It's always very fast and we fell we missed it.

In the Dutch nest they have 2 cams and one can watch the whole procedure.

What a pity - again not enough light to see whether the last one will make it or not .... soon it is pitch dark and no possibility to record :(

We were lucky that we caught the second one getting out in last daylight

could you post a link, please?

[Abigyl]

Now he is taking time to think

To be the owner of this large palace?

or

To go to the unknown ?

Yes! And hopefully Verni will sleep in the box overnight.... though nothing can be seen now at night...

[Maggy]

Hagnat, thanks for a great picture!
21:32 Verni is back into the window but nothing much can be seen!

[Bea]

Yes, how to get the light back!

He will not be happy for long staying inside, even if there was light - when he notices that his siblings get all the food outside!

Maggy, I admire you

You know the nest so well that you are able to describe it only by sounds.

Hope for him that he'll go at sunrise.

I wish we'll have the opportunity to see Klaara in daylight when she'll come to clean the house.


I watched your new chick. he is very sweet. You'll have only 2 Buzz this year since the first died while hatching, this one is in fact the second. There is another egg waiting for you.

[Maggy]

Thanks for your updates about the Buzz, Abigyl, when I'm done with the owls I'll check them out!

Good Morning Liz!

You finished your job an hour ago, after this hard last day. Hope to meet you on the next nest and next year here.
Now, there are no noises from roof or around nest. Let's hope that they got their food and they can sleep after all the stress.

I wish them a good and long life

Thanks for all the data you gave us
