Video: On Tuesday, a second egg was laid in the sea eagle’s nest in Durbe, we invite you to give a name to the new sea eagle

Yesterday afternoon, a pair of eagles occasionally left the nest for several minutes, leaving the egg alone.

Mr. H actively feeds dry grass and reed tufts, which are used to line the base of the nest and cover the eggs.

The first egg this season was laid on March 23.

Compared to the two previous years, this spring the first egg was laid much later. For example, last year the first egg was laid on March 8, and in 2022 – on March 15.

This year, the nest owner, Milda, and her new ringed partner, H 492, or Mr. H, had to build a new nest because the previous nest collapsed in last fall’s storm.

From February 19 to March 23, the two birds have built a nest from 917 branches of different sizes.

The biggest builder was Mr. H, who wrapped 739 branches in the nest, while Milda had 178 branches, according to the statistics made on the “Dabasdati.lv” forum.

Even after laying the egg, Mr. H replenishes the nest with new branches and tufts of dry grass.

Both birds breed in shifts.

They are disturbed by the crows living in the neighborhood, who followed the construction of the nest with interest and checked whether the sea eagles already had an egg in the nest.

Also, twice the eagles have been startled by human conversations near the nest.

Ornithologist Jānis Ķuze calls on people who go to the forest to observe silence and not to try to approach the nest if they notice it, and to leave the area quickly if birds with agitated behavior are observed.

Thus, people can ensure the successful breeding of birds.

The LDF calls for a name for the new sea eagle of Durbe’s nest, which is currently called Mr. H, according to the call published on LDF’s twitter.

A second egg has been laid in the Durbe sea eagle’s nest, but Milda’s partner has yet to be named. Currently, her new partner with the H492 ring is called Mr. H.

LDF invited to write versions of the words in the comments, as well as to support the suggestions of others. The most popular words will be voted on.

Julita Kluša has encouraged Mr. H to become Higaro, making the name from Figaro.

Others have encouraged Mr. H to be named Hubert, Herman, Hugo, Duke Jacob, Haldor, Howard, Harry, Hector, Henry, Horace, and there is no shortage of other suggestions.

As reported, the home of sea eagles in Kurzeme, Durbe county, is the most popular LDF live broadcast. The nest is in the top of an old fir tree about the height of a nine-story house.

This nest is a veteran of live broadcasts – observed since 2015. It is possible to comment on what is happening in the nest in the “Dabasdati.lv” forum in Latvian and in the “Looduskalender.ee” forum in English.

The book “Brīnumola” written by Imantas Bunkš is dedicated to the sea eagle Durberta, which hatched in 2015.
