Iespaidīgā Palestīnas Odze tika atnesta uz ligzdu!
Čūskērgļu mazulim ir jau 10 dienas, un tas aug labi - ar prieku ēd Vidusjūras rāpuļu virtuves smalkās delikateses: lielās čūskas (Dolichophis jugularis), sarkanās čūskas (Platyceps collaris), pītas čūskas (Platyceps saharicus), Racer (Psammophis schokari), šaursvītrainās pundurčūskas (Eirenis decemlineatus), Javelin Sand Boa (Eryx jaculus) un pāris Palestīnas odzes (Daboia palaestinae).
Pēdējās divas bija lielas un apaļīgas! Vienu no tām, ko no rīta atnesa uz ligzdu, pusdienlaikā pabeidza mātīte, un arī uzkāpa savam mazulim uz galvas (laika kods 01:40).

Jumbo Viper!

Impressive Palestine Viper was brought to the Eagles nest!
Short-toed Eagle nestling is 10 days old already, growing well - happily gorging some fine snakes of the Mediterranean crawling cuisine: Large Whip Snakes (Dolichophis jugularis), Red Whip Snakes (Platyceps collaris), Braid Snakes (Platyceps saharicus), Schokari Sand Racer (Psammophis schokari), narrow-striped dwarf snake (Eirenis decemlineatus), Javelin Sand Boa (Eryx jaculus) and a couple of Palestine Vipers (Daboia palaestinae).
The last two were big and chubby! One of them, brought to the nest in the morning, was finished at noon time by the female, who also stepped on her nestling’s head (time code 01:40).

Čūskērgļu vecāki atstāj savu 26 dienas veco dārgumu - dažreiz uz stundu vai divām... Kāpēc viņi to dara?
Viņi to dara, jo ligzdas mazulis ir labi audzis, ir izturīgāks pret saules starojumu un vairs nav nepieciešams to ēnot ar pieaugušā spārniem. Un, lai arī mazais paliek viens, mamma ievēro drošu distanci, uzraugot lietas ligzdā un tuvējā apkārtnē. Protams, arī mazulis viņu var redzēt, tāpēc nekļūst nervozs… Bet dažreiz, dziļi iesnaužoties, kad mamma to pamodina, tiek novērota panika… un ligzdas mazulis jocīgi lec. Skatiet to video sākumā un laika kodā 03:20.

Short-toed Eagles leaving their 26 days old precious nestling by himself - sometimes for an hour or two… Why do they do it?
They do it because the nestling has grown well, it is more resistant to the sun radiation and there is no need to shade it with the adult’s wings anymore. And even though staying alone, mama Eagle keeps a safe distance where she supervises things at the nest and nearby surroundings. Naturally the young nestling can see her as well, so there’s no need to become edgy… But sometimes, while napping deeply she wakes it up and some panic is noted… and the nestling jumps in a funny manner. Look it up at the beginning of the video, and in time code 03:20.
