Are two eggs better than one?

If you have a choice, then surely. But in the Estonian white-tailed eagles’ (Suvi and Sulev) nest with webcam there is not much choice – only one egg remains in the nest.

The second egg was broken on the morning of April 5th and the remnants  were removed by the adults from the nest.

Last year in the autumn we installed the web Camera at the Metsküla shore, in a site from where at about five kilometres distance in 2013 the first evidence came to prove the presence of the golden jackal   (Canis aureus) in Estonia.

Now we will leave the jackals on their own in Metsküla and bring to mind who has been seen and heard in camera view during the five months. 

Already in the evening at the installation of the camera the ringing howl  of two jackals sounded from the beach. The jackals here also howl at propeller-driven airplanes and the evening plane between Kuressaare and Tallinn almost always made the animals howl .

We will follow the doings in a starling nest box. Viewers will remember the events of last year between the competing females that made the nesting fail

Work is carried out with the  dedication and confidence of the masters of the nest. It will be home for several months and must  be marked and decorated.

The exciting springtime period continues, calls and hoots are  heard from everywhere …

Klaara shows an interest in Klaus’s doings around the nest trunk by hooting

 

Tawny owl       Kodukakk         Strix aluco

 

We will look a  little while back in time on what has happened and is happening in the  tawny owl  nest hollow, and briefly forward.

Klaara laid the first egg into the nest hollow in the trunk on March 30th, the next ones on  April 2nd and 5th: so it works for tawny owls, with intervals of a couple of days. It seems that the egg clutch is complete.
