Eagle Owl - webcam from the nest in Germany
Great mare - description
Families of large eagles live in the courtyard of the castle ruins of Königstein.
During the breeding season, the inner courtyard is closed to visitors, but birds can be seen from the bird tower.
The camera transmits 24/7 live streaming.
Eagle Owl
The Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) is Europe's largest owl; this is also reflected in his English name, which can be translated as eagle owl. It reaches a span of 180 centimeters and a weight of two to three kilograms.
During the day he hides on rocks or old trees, in the evening he flies into the open countryside. Its nest is only a shallow hole on the ground or on a rock cliff, but sometimes occupies the old nests of predators. It does not avoid the proximity of human settlements, sometimes nesting in the quarries used. They feed on birds and mammals up to the size of a smaller hare, hunting in a silent flight low above the terrain. When hunting is oriented mainly hearing.
At the time of the flow in February and early March, the male calls his not very loud "angles", which he repeats hundreds of times. Young birds are not yet able to rule out this characteristic call. When they leave the nest, they hiss - a certain sign that the district is occupied. The eagle owls nest in March and April, sitting on eggs for about 35 days. The young climb up the rock wall at the age of 20 days, long before they can fly. Endangered, particularly protected.

The formwork from the courtyard has already been removed, the "nest" cleaned, the board removed and the straw cleaned under the nest.

Hello, Mrs. Petro and thanks for the videos 🙂. Doesn't she hunt herself yet? Although he can see how he trains mouse jumps as he runs around the courtyard. When they learn to hunt, will they fly away and their parents stay?
The poor man was caught in a storm, you could see how long she had dried her wings, and then she settled in the spotlight - perhaps she warmed up a bit 🙂.
Hello Mrs. Leono, she probably doesn't hunt herself yet, but she should learn it slowly, she is 11 weeks old. When she can take care of herself, she will fly away. The parents stay close to the nest. They usually have several nests in one area, which gradually alternate. They are nesting here for the second year, so hopefully we will see them here next season.
Thanks, I didn't know they had some "haciends". So hopefully they will choose this one again next season, even though, unfortunately, it did not bring them much luck 🙁.

Thanks for the alert - how come the transmission can be traced when they announce a shutdown? 🙂 Buddine is beautiful.
Hello Leono, these are videos on their YT site. The broadcast is turned off for the public, for private purposes they are probably still running and sometimes they put the video in public. Here is the record from 10.6

Hello, these are beautiful shots - thanks !!! So it's not regular, he wants to watch it.
Good evening. I watch owls, but not every day. The transfer is over, will anyone tell me what happened? According to comments, some or how many died?
The first chick died after falling out of the nest. Then another fell out, but it was fine and returned to the nest already secured. After a while, Miss Buddine flew out and waited for her brother to fly out. Unfortunately, the one in the nest was found dead. It was very interesting because we could watch the behavior of the chick after leaving the nest, to independence. YOU LOSED A LOT.
I could still see the one from the nest still watching the young one below. I heard a drunk. Yes, it's beautiful to watch, although I dare say "often" sad. Thank you for your reply …… 😊
The male apparently died of poisoning, but nothing is confirmed, it's just speculation. In one day it was over 🙁 .Sad spectacle. On the other hand, the female Budinne, who flew out of the nest, made everyone watching happy. It was a beautiful sight.
(Really just for myself - it occurred to me that the death may have been related to the fall from the nest and manifested later, some hidden problem, one never knows - the autopsy would show the cause, but we probably won't know. Actually, it doesn't matter… ……)
Just today, June 8.6.2020, XNUMX, the transmission was turned off - a pity. You will definitely find something on YT - it would be worth a look 🙂.
04.06.2020 Update
Note: The city of Königstein im Taunus will turn off this public live broadcast on Monday, June 8, 2020.
Since a young owl flew out of the nest and two other chicks died, our cameras provide one or two views of great owls. Even finding and monitoring cameras could only be sporadically successful and this is not possible for us from the point of view of staff. We ask for your understanding and thank you for your loyal following, participation in the development of our owls and regular, mostly respectable and fair discussion with other nature lovers in a live chat.
Too bad it turned out like this ………… .. Maybe next year will be better.
We definitely thank all those interested for the opportunity to monitor the transmission.
Despite the sad conclusion, it was the best broadcast I've been watching. It was the opportunity to see the chick after leaving the nest that was unique. Thank you to everyone who participated in the transfer and I will soon come to inspect the entire fortress. I believe that next year we will meet again with the owls. Thanks a lot.
Just a little clarification to update and the name of the city / town: the town of Königstein im Taunus is located in Hesse, in the western end of Germany, ours is "only" Königstein - a village in Saxony.
Um, I really didn't do well 🙁. All the time I live in the belief that the owls are in the fortress Königstein, on Table Mountain, near Bad Schandau. There are also some remnants of the castle, a train is honking downstairs and the tower clock is beating nearby ď But now I couldn't do it for several reasons and I started looking again. And she found - a small ruin in the immediate vicinity above the town of K. am Taunus, down the railway, a tower with a striking clock is definitely there too :-), but really only in Hesse. So it will not be a trip 🙁. In that case, I'm not surprised to be there... read more
unfortunately you are not alone, I also had no idea that there are places of the same name, moreover, I consider Saxony to be humny
Thanks. We have 85 km and the right thing is about 570 🙂. But the one we have for humny is definitely worth a look. And maybe some owls also live there 🙂. Have fun.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time to keep looking at this broadcast. But it always makes me happy. I would just comment on the deaths of the young and the intervention of the Defenders. This year, I myself monitored, or photographed and filmed 5 nesting pairs of owls. After the initial joy of this year's discovery of so many nesting, sad discoveries gradually appeared. First, probably a shot female and 2 dead few-day-old chicks and one unruly egg. Another female lying most likely poisoned by 2 eggs. The male survived, but he probably brought her some poisoned prey, so it was perhaps an unfortunate coincidence that a lot of people just don't think about when they spend rats,... read more
Depending on how lethargic the young eagle owl was in the nest yesterday, I would have guessed poisoning as well. We'll see if they do an autopsy to clarify the cause of death.
I also had poisoning. It was a terrible sight of the poor woman withering 🙁.
So it's not a very hilarious reading. Unfortunately, this is a sad reality.
Thanks for sharing your experience. LŠ
There is only so much to your contribution: it is absolutely commendable that you monitor the nests of owls and follow their stories. Thanks for that. But I assume you don't have them 24/7 in your eyes like the nest on Konigstein. In that case, it's the natural cycle of nature in the owls you're watching, whether we like it or not (although a poisoned or shot animal is sad evidence of access some people to nature). On Konigstein, however, the young were constantly nesting the nest, and I am convinced that they strongly underestimated the condition of the little owl. Every piece counts! Obviously, you are a person who loves nature and enjoys every addition... read more
Of course, I did not have a live broadcast from any nesting. Although I would love to, but it's technically impossible, or it would be incredibly expensive, both financially and in time. This is how "cameras" for rorys, which I broadcast online every year, are "enough" for me, this year only YT is meaninglessly blocking it. I had 2 photo traps at one nest, so I saw a lot of interesting things that one would not normally see, but even that involved changing the cards in them every 2-3 days and sometimes flashlights. Otherwise, I also watch other types of owls, so it's a "madhouse"... read more
Thanks so much for the interesting text. In relation to animals, I myself have a problem keeping emotions in check and leaving an animal in need at its fate. One hundred times I may know that the help of a person is not always desirable.
I'd like to know the reason for the owl's death. The wasting was very fast.
I wish you good luck in watching beautiful birds, a symbol of wisdom and, most importantly, that their times improve.
4.6 Update: Dear spectators, dear fans of our Königstein Great Spotted Owls, Yesterday was a sad day for us and all of you - the young eagle owl that remained in the nest died due to circumstances that have not yet been clarified. Quax, as the audience called him, has given us joy and eventually courage in the last few weeks in the Coronavirus pandemic. He made us laugh or brought us to the brink of despair, as if he had fallen out of the nest several times and had to be saved. Watching him and his siblings as they spent time together in the nest, or when the older chick left the nest before the sibling's eyes, gave us an exciting insight into the life of these beautiful birds.... read more
3.6. At 23 pm, B. will squint a black squirrel again - perhaps the original one (?) - at 23,19 pm one of the parents arrived and brought a light squirrel - they exchanged squirrels - B. black. The old owl flew away and B. carefully hid the prey and flew across the yard. She probably doesn't fly very well with a full belly. Otherwise, she is probably a capable pilot, she dares to rise to the heights - she was sitting on the walls.
I also saw it, but it seemed to me that she married a mouse / squirrel first? and then ripped back Ch. that squirrel. In the end, she caught her herself, they are children. Sad is the fate of K. I hope it will not be poisoning, then others are at risk. Of the three cubs, we were left with only one.
3.6 Oh yeah ch from Chat by Leonhard Helm
The young owl in the nest seems to have died. We cannot intervene because others would be threatened by the intervention.
Anne K. Now there is no way to check Quax in the dark right now - we have to wait until tomorrow to be sure
I am convinced that this could have been prevented .. B. And if someone objects that it is nature, in this case I do not agree .. Strictly protected creature and they are not able to help him .. What to say? Sad, really very sad .. Well, in the morning they will be sure …….
It is uncertain whether he died at 20:13 before switching to camera 2 was still breathing. I won't speculate on anything here, we'll see in the morning. Now that night, it would be difficult for anyone to climb up that ladder and they would startle the young female again.
I'm so sorry. I only got to today's record and drove within the available range, but at first glance it was clear that something was wrong. Not to mention a later time. Too bad the owl was cute. Now mainly for Buddine to grow up healthy.
21,37 Ch. K. brought a mouse, but flew away, K. isn't moving yet to lure him out?
Rather, I'm afraid he has a little trouble live.
It seems that the poor woman no longer has problems 🙁 ……………………… ..
you're probably right, the camera doesn't show him at all, he kept jumping and steaming, sad, maybe he'll be better tomorrow
Now Charlotte brought a mouse to the young eagle, the little one didn't even move and Ch. flew away… —-
21.38.30 she handed over the cape to the owl, which stabbed her like a raspberry.
21,18 carries a squirrel?
Buddine got a squirrel for dinner ..
3.6. 21,13 Buddine on camera with food that she would start hunting?
