Introduction on LK main page in English: still to follow
Irma and Ivo have raised one ospret during breeding season 2016 and two osprets in 2017, despite three eggs were laid in both seasons.
In 2016 one of the three laid eggs got lost by accident (it was stuck in Irma´s chestfeathers and at a take-off it fell out and over the rim) and later the smaller of the two hatched chicks was blown from the nest in a horrible storm.
In 2017 again one of three eggs was lost in a similar accident like 2016, egg was stuck in Irma´s petticoats and she took it out with her when starting to fly from the nest.
We are all hoping that Irma and Ivo will return safe and sound from their migration and that they will start a new breeding season, this time without unhappy accidents!
Ivo hatched and was ringed in 2013 by Joosep Tuvi, in a nest 50 km NNE in Jõgeva county
Irma was ringed as an adult bird, we don´t know anything about her hatching date
