Male Tõnn brings rodents to the nest for female Tiiu to feed the chick

 

Greater spotted eagle  Suur-konnakotkas        Clanga clanga

 

Actually this story waited to be written when the second eagle chick would have hatched.

As we know female Tiiu laid the first egg in the nest on April 22 and the next on April 25 or 26. Greater spotted eagles start incubating immediately after the first egg has been laid.

So it happened yesterday as Suvi arrived at the nest.

Presently we see only the heads of the birds and the camera can be redirected on to the nest only by the Eagle Club investigators. The question is of course when? – When the eagle chick will be ringed.

We will let you know when something is happening.

Only practice makes a master

The eaglet that was hatched on April 24 has almost no downy feathers any longer. By and by it learns to eat by itself. It will take about one more month for the eaglet to be able to fly.

Early summer arrived early this year, it has been hot and by now there is already drought and the seawater .level has stayed low.

An hour before the departure from the nest both jostled in the flight opening

The weather is summery hot, hurries on nature as well as bird chicks.

The owlets waited until the sunset period to leave the nest almost at the same time and together.

Today they were a month old and at least according to memory at that age owlets have not left earlier. Neither has it happened that owlets have returned to the nest …

All the best to you, and stand courageous against all dangers!.

Starling        Kuldnokk        Sturnus vulgaris 

 

 

Before noon the last young starling left the nest box, and none of the six chicks returned in the evening to spend the night there.

Good Luck To You, Starlings-to-be!

We thank our project  partners, the LK forum members, who recorded the events in the nest and of course all interested viewers.

Although starlings are well-known birds fundamental studies of them have not been made in Europe.
