The egg in Estonia has been left for several minutes, Madis has dropped several small twigs on it, I think he's forgotten the egg is there.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Mrs is back and sorts the twigs out. I thought her name was Piret?
Both birds off the nest, one flew off with large fish, all happened so fast that I could'nt see who was who as had just then looked in. Do we think these are two first timers ?
Madis brought the fish, but Piret didn't want it. She initially flew up on to the camera, but then Madis flew off with the fish, and Piret flew back down to continue incubating.
Rach, I may have missed something but I understood that the female is an unringed, unknown bird, that Piret is not around. That's why I invented a name, as it would be kinda awkward, as well as "impersonal" compared to Madis, to keep calling her "the female".
Maybe someone will correct me or confirm?

Oh , I see, - I couldn't work out why her name had changed! Does anyone know what they are calling her in Estonia?
I'm happy to go with the consensus, I agree it's better to call her something rather than 'the female'.
With all these posts relating to the one nest is it worth starting a thread for this nest, otherwise posts relating to other nests will get lost. What are others thoughts?
Yes, I'm happy to do that. It is an interesting nest. and we have such a good view of it.
Alex Rach Has anyone heard how our old friend Blue XD and his mate are getting on? I've been wondering if they accepted the new nest, and if they have eggs. Any answers to that one?

Re the Estonia nest, They were named Piret and Madis on the Estonian Forum and are still being called that today.
Ah, thanks Alan! Guess we'd better follow suit then.
Chick being fed at Maryland:
It will be a miracle if this egg ever hatches (Estonia). SOOO much fiddling about by both and such unfriendly nesting material, tangled roots (I think) In comparrison Odin and EJ's nest is five star with lovelly soft moss etc.
