White-tailed eagle pair Suvi and Sulev’s nest looked like this at the end of the season

On Friday morning I was in an Internet-free community and so I can only comment the event in retrospect – sorry .

 Only two supporting branches are left of the crumbling nest of the white-tailed eagle family after two weeks. The stormy days and heavy showers in the week of course caused worries but everything passed without particular incidents.

The eagle chick is two months, it has learnt climbing and keeping balance and no ”silly feats” were undertaken in the strong wind – so its physical training should be good.

A moment before the ”full mark” but the culprit has been registered

…and who dares say that the eaglet is not well fed?

After some time - but will the rain tomorrow manage to wash some of it  off?

For about ten days the eagle nest has been crumbling. Good at least that heavy rain or a serious storm has not occurred in the camera area.

After 4 pm on Monday male Sulev came to feed the eaglet

The nest of the white-tailed eagles crumbles visibly. Luckily the pine tree has strong side branches where the birds can sit but the eaglet does have to train gymnastics.
