On July 2nd we saw the buzzards at the nest for the last time

Buzzard    Hiireviu      Buteo buteo

We always continue hoping to see the nest inhabitants visiting the birthplace. But for buzzards the ties to the nest break at once on leaving (although certainly there may be exceptions).

Buzzards start their autumn migration in September-October, and LK will have reports from the migration. The young buzzards that were hatched this year will begin nesting in their third calendar year.

White-tailed eagle     Merikotkas       Haliaeëtus albicilla

Small mishaps always happen to the eaglets hanging about in the nest tree – they cannot estimate a gust of wind, or become too daring. Large birds, wing span already a couple of metres, and so they need not particularly fear a fall. Calls can be heard from a couple of branch layers below.

Last year there was a similar accident in the white-tailed eagle nest, see the previous video as reminder LINK

Meadowsweet

Meadowsweet     Harilik angervaks       Filipendula ulmaria

Sometimes we come across ”meadowsweet forests” growing in the moist soil at the banks of rivers, brooks and lakes. They may be the height of a ”small man”, one and a half metres, and can be a thicket that is quite difficult to get across.

The overwhelming density of plants occurs in suitably moist soils, and the several propagation modes of meadowsweet (a mighty rhizome, numerous seeds) fend off other plants from the area. In sites with less moisture it will not be quite as powerful.
