4.Oktobris
November 4: neither parent was seen on the nest overnight, but were seen down on their river roost in the morning and later during the day. Our ground team found SE31 and watched her for about 3 hours. She then flew off strongly and was seen again later several times. Earlier, one of the parents caught a fish and then the other had bird prey–both flew with prey over the wetlands, as if encouraging a juvenile to approach. We have not definitely seen either juvenile feeding though the ground team are fairly confident they have seen or heard both today. Whenever either has been seen, other birds have been swooping still. Late in the afternoon, Dad brought in a large bream which he then ate himself. It is a pity neither juvenile was there to get it. All is more positive though.
4. novembris: neviens no vecākiem netika redzēts uz ligzdas nakti, bet tika redzēts savā upes riestā no rīta un vēlāk dienas laikā. Mūsu zemes komanda atrada SE31 un vēroja viņu apmēram 3 stundas. Pēc tam viņa spēcīgi aizlidoja un vēlāk tika atkal redzēta vairākas reizes. Agrāk viens no vecākiem noķēra zivi, bet pēc tam otrs dabūja putnu laupījumu – abi kopā ar medījumu lidoja pāri mitrājiem, it kā mudinot kādu mazuli tuvoties. Mēs noteikti neesam redzējuši nevienu mazuļu barošanu, lai gan zemes komanda ir diezgan pārliecināta, ka viņi šodien ir redzējuši vai dzirdējuši abus. Ikreiz, kad kāds no tiem ir redzēts, citi putni ir bijuši nekustīgi. Vēlā pēcpusdienā tētis ienesa lielu breksi, ko pēc tam apēda pats. Žēl, ka neviens nepilngadīgais nebija tur, lai to iegūtu. Tomēr viss ir pozitīvāk.
