Webcams in Europe: birds

This is easily the best Osprey cam I have seen in the UK. I like the way somebody actually controls it now and again, zooming in when something interesting is happening. Well done to all concerned.

Superb viewing of this interesting bird. Thank you. The care of the young one and attention to detail Of the nest is fascinating. The adult birds are so "dignified looking" and kind of calm in their behaviour. During this Covid time watching this nest has been a real tonic.

Where is the other one is it ok after falling from the nest?

I love this wild looking site and the osprey family. So beautiful.

These eaglets are adorable! Is there a chat for this nest?

I used to watch this camera regularly and I'm so happy that the nest and family are thriving.

Beautiful sight on raising ospreys. My compliments and appreciation.

Tony Turner-- just saw your 5/27 post below-- today is 7/16 and it's 9:30 pm at night in los angeles, ca.(daylight in Czech R.) and i see 4 rather grown Juveniles and one Adult--- rumaging around the Nest-- so i guess one fear was unfounded-- happy for that! what a Huge Nest-- also love the nightime IR pickup.

So sad! Does anyone know what happened?

Is there someone to take the dead bird out of the nest? Please do it!

Has a parent been back to feed the surviving chick, please? If not, will any supplementary feeding be done?

Come on you two. Time to try those huge wings and FLEDGE!

Sad and unpleasant as it is to see the deceased chick, I can't help being fascinated by the adult's behaviour. It came to the nest at 09.26 camera time today with a stick, which it placed on the body. The adult then spent the next 90 minutes pecking at the chick, dragging it around the nest and then staring at it for long periods. I may be anthropomorphising but it gave the distinct impression it still thought there might be some response. It left the nest several times for a few minutes only and returned with more foliage. About 10.55 it seemed to reach some kind of decision and started frantically plucking feathers from the corpse. This went on for about another half an hour. It then flew off again and returned at 16.22, when it finally seemed to start making a serious attempt at feeding on the body, although it looked to be consuming more feathers than flesh. I don't know if it is normal for a parent bird to wait so long before beginning to dispose of a deceased offspring?

I see the adult was on the nest again just after 7.30 camera time. It's still trying to feed the deceased chick.

The adult turned up later in the day and seemed confused by it's offspring's lack.of response. It was sad but also quite interesting to watch as it spent about an hour alternately staring at the chick and poking/pulling at it with its beak. At first I thought the adult was trying to eat the chick (No wastage in nature), but then it started trying to feed it. After an hour the adult flew off but returned around dusk with more food and had another try at getting a response. I'm surprised the crows hadn't been feeding on it by then, I thought I could hear some in the background.
