ESTONIA Pärnu county (Kergu + Kerli)

info shared by our Madli:

- there aren't any known goshawk nesting areas nearby
- this hawk looks small for a goshawk, perhaps it was only a sparrowhawk

(btw. I thought of that too, but I can't distinguish between predators, and especially when they fly so fast that I can't distinguish individual signs between species)

windy and rainy weather again

the wreath around the nest is the best trampoline
- wing flapping and "jumping" (not yet) repeatedly



and it is again raining (+ strong wing is there)

-----
Ringing in Kergu's nest will probably be delayed until it's possible to equip a transmitter, to avoid multiple disturbing to the nest. (info by our Madli shared via email on Tue 1 Jul, 18:55 )

- chicks are sleeping/resting
( a jay sat down on the branch next to the nest at 05.39.21 - youtube chat info: 4:41 AM Sandro Walach ​​05:39:21 a guest )



- 07.41 wake up
- wing flapping, e.g. at 07.53
(the wreath of branches around the nest is an excellent trampoline - flapping the wings strengthens their pectoral muscles)



- 08.03 and next distant thunder is heard and the wind is getting stronger
