DON'T REALLY KNOW. WAS A VERY STRESSFUL HOMECOMING FOR PIRET. REJECTION AND BATTLES. BUT, MADIS IS STILL BRINGING FISH FOR HER AND SHE CONTINUES TO WORK ON NEST. I, PERSONALLY, AM STILL HOPEFUL EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF TIME HAS PASSED.
PIRET ON THE NEST FOR QUITE AWHILE. MADIS HAS NOT COME EVEN THOUGH SHE CALLS.

In spring we did not want to make additional disturbance at nest site as Piret was too much in stress already of fights and fixing herself as a nest owner. But now there is very difficult to find proper way to trap, because every suspicious thing at nest could afraid her away. From other side connection between bird and nest could diminish. But to be clear, we have no good opportunity to trap Piret now. The method used last year does not work without of chicks in nest... Maybe somebody knows good and safe for bird trapping methods?
Other problem is very tight time schedule during monitoring season, as it is now the time to check nests of white-tailed eagles and ring the nestlings there.
Also I want to notice, that transmitter is not harmful for Piret. She arrived this year earlier as last year to the nest, so even migration time is not suffering of transmitter. But for sure we want to remove that thing and let to be Piret free as a wild bird.
