The second egg this morning…

 

Starling          Kuldnokk      Sturnus vulgaris

 

At about half past nine it seemed that the starling female was laying an egg and a quarter of an hour later we could see a second egg in the nest box.

The first egg came into the nest box in the evening of April 22, the second in the morning of April 24. Let us wait and see,  most commonly the female lays five to six eggs.

Events in the badger camera can be watched once again from here in Saaremaa, from the same place where we finished in mid-November 2016 after the old fat beaver fell asleep snoring on the ground beside the burrow.

When female eagle  Suvi rose for a moment from the nest in the morning a little before half past seven the eagle chick had hatched….

 

White-tailed eagle       Merikotkas      Haliaeëtus albicilla   

 

Thirtyseven days of incubation in the cold spring, sometimes even in a snowdrift.

The chick was hatched from the first egg laid on March 18. From the incubation period we can deduce that the egg that was crushed on April 5 was laid on March 21.

The shedding of the antlers started in early March.  As we can see young animals still have their antlers, and the old bulls grow new antlers.

Tiit Hunt will surely make a final summary of the season in the near future.
