The Nest is reported on at the Looduskalender site HERE
And we can discuss it here - but don't forget that they are 10 hrs ahead of Vancouver - after the clocks go forward.

Some geography - where the nest is - what weather to expect!

White-tailed Eagle(Haliaeetus albicilla)
Nest is located in Western Estonia,
about 40 km from the eagles winter feeding place.

Plenty of WTE Information at the Kotkaklubi site:


Article on Looduskalender site:
Including details of the camera - setting up - and a photo of Urmas up the tree!

The nest is in Laanemaa county - explore it here with an interactive guide and map:
Läänemaa, Estonia

Läänemaa (area 2383 sq km; population 31850) is a county with a long coastline, meadows, forests and bogs. The center of the County is the town of Haapsalu - for a long time a well loved summer town, known for its warm seawater and the therapeutic mud with an excellent curative effect. Many Estonian celebrities have found a summer hiding place in Läänemaa!

Thank you so much, Beans.
That's a lovely video to start the season off - and so like Sulev - moving sticks this way and that - and I'm sure they end up in the same place

I found this video on you tube . It was posted by ame from the nest forum. It's rather noisy but lets you hear how different the WTE calls are from the Bald Eagle.
