The beaver webcam furnished a pleasant surprise and definite proof that in Matsalu the  rare eagle owl is still present.

Osprey       Kalakotkas     Pandion haliaetus

Yesterday evening the female laid the first egg into the nest.

This osprey nest has not been used for  breeding for some years. We  may have to do with a wholly new osprey pair and with a female laying eggs for the first time.

In the video we see the osprey pair together. The smaller male flies up from the nest and when he arrives back  with a pine branch we also see for a moment the egg of the young female with its multicoloured shell.

In the video we can hear the voices of the adults, how male Klaus lets Klaara know that she might come to have an evening meal. After some time he himself comes to the nest with a rodent which he offers to Klaara  but then decides to check in the nest hollow whether the hatching of the owl chicks is in progress  since Klaara did not leave the nest on being called. …

The third egg is a fact

Black stork      Must-toonekurg      Ciconia nigra

Three  nice eggs in the nest and a proud stork pair. The eggs came every second day, or on April 12th, 14th and 16th in the morning twilight.

This night too there were minus degrees in the nest forest as it has been since the beginning of the egg-laying, but the weather is turning more spring-like.
