When I'm asked again in interviews which pieces of my footage I consider the most valuable, this will definitely be one of them. Filming a female eagle-owl with her chicks on the nest was a truly extraordinary experience. I would therefore like to use the footage for the benefit of the owls and ask you a favour...
Predators - beasts and birds of prey - are the most timid animals of all. Approaching a fox or a northern goshawk is far more difficult than watching a woodpecker up close. Predators have good reason to be wary - in the past they were intensely persecuted by humans as vermin, and in many places they are still killed by some people despite legal protection. As icons among birds of prey, eagle-owls are therefore very wary of humans and see them as a mortal danger. Even if for a moment we ignore the real threat posed by poachers and nest-robbers, we are still faced with one unpleasant but undeniable fact - that eagle-owls can unfortunately be harmed (albeit unintentionally) by any of us. How, you ask? Simply: by inconsiderate tourism.
Eurasian eagle-owls don't build nests and lay their eggs directly on the ground. For example, they use windthrows or places between thick roots, where, however, the young are exposed to danger from foxes and wild boars. They therefore prefer to nest on rocks, where most ground animals cannot reach them. Because of their anxious alertness, eagle-owls need to feel safe on the nesting ground and require a complete solitude. Therefore, they seek out remote places where humans don't set their feet throughout the year... By now you can probably guess what problem I will be talking about. Such places virtually don't exist in the Czech Republic anymore.
We have a lot of free time, we like to wander around nature after work, and rocks in particular are like a magnet for us. We look around the landscape from them, take selfies for Instagram, hide geocaches in them and climb the steep walls. Of course, all this is incompatible with successfully raising baby eagle-owls, falcons or even black storks. In protected areas, traditional bird nesting sites are often surrounded by no-entry zones in spring, but this is just a tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of other rocks scattered across the landscape that are not guarded by any park staff, so it is up to us to be considerate of nesting birds. If you want to help or at least not harm the eagle-owls, try to follow these two rules:
1) If you startle a large bird off the ground or a rock in the woods, or come across its nest, try to avoid the area for the rest of the spring season.
2) From January to the end of April, ideally do not visit woodland rocks at all. During this period, the eagle-owls are mating, incubating their eggs and are extremely sensitive to disturbance. A spooked female may even abandon her clutch for good. When the chicks hatch in the second half of April, their mother will form a strong emotional attachment to them and will likely return to the nest even after disturbance. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to give the owl family peace and quiet. I'm sure you'll agree with me that considerate visiting of the rocks only in the summer and fall is not such a dramatic detriment to humans.
Now you may be thinking that I'm preaching water and drinking wine when I'm filming the owls at the nest. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to disclose the whole background of this event for the safety of the nesting site, but I would like to emphasize one thing - this footage has been filmed under very unusual circumstances and under the supervision of an experienced ornithologist Ivo Hertl, who has been studying and protecting this owl couple for several years. Normally, I avoid rocks in the spring season and I would never dare to film an eagle-owl nest without consulting an expert.
I will be happy if you share this appeal with your friends to spread awareness of birds nesting on rocks. I believe that most people would certainly not want to ruin the lives of young owls, and with a little education this scenario can easily be avoided. So let's work together to educate ourselves and use our common sense to do no more harm to nature and its inhabitants than we have done in the past. Thanks a lot!

I showed my one year old boy this video and he is obsessed. He asks to see “ah woo” almost every day
Opravdu nevšední záběry. Veliké díky za příležitost vidět tak nádherného ptáka a jeho dojemnou péči o svá mláďata. Ještě jednou moc děkuji.
Já děkuju za zkouknutí :-)
What an amazing mother.
tohle je absolutní bomba, výr a ve dne
Úžasný 👍🥰A ty nádherný oči 🙏👍
Ty jsou, co? :-)
Náádhera, krasné světlo, ostrost, prostě bezkonkurenční 👋👍
Díky moc :-)
Jsi borec. Vážím si tě za tvůj přístup k přírodě. Ať se ti daří. 👍🏻🙂
Děkuju moc :-)
Nepopsatelně krásné....................
Díky moc :-)
Krásný predátor 👍😊
Souhlas :-)
Velmi krásné záběry a ty oči! Nádhera! 🦉🙂
Díky moc :-)
Great footage! I enjoy the establishing shots at the start of your videos, they add a lot to the experience!
Thank you! Mostly I don't have the time to film them along with the animal footage, and I have to come back later to film the landscape separately. So it's nice to hear that somebody appreciates it :-)
Krása a precizní kvalita, jako vždy..💯💯💯💯💯❤️👏🏼
Díky moc :-)
Que bonita! Me gusta mucho el búho. BuBo BuBo número 1 en el mundo❤❤
Beautiful raptors.... I could watch videos of them for hours. Well, maybe not in one sitting, but, they are entertaining and interesting enough to tempt me, too.
By all means, I will be happy if you watch the video again and again :-)
Krásné 👍😊🦉
Díky moc :-)
Lukáš Pich, thank you very much for such a beautiful video🦉🌹
Thank you for stopping by :-)
@ You're welcome, my pleasure.
Parádička Lukáši 👍🙂
Díky moc :-)
Nádhera Lukáši 🙂
Díky moc :-)
Děkuju, šířím 👍
Díky.
That's Amazing. Owls are beautiful
They sure are.
Eurasian eagle-owl nest,baby.
It's a very precious and precious video.
I always hope that they will be well protected.
Thank you, and thank you for them, too :-)
Lukáši krása !! Na tohle video jsem se moc těšila. Nejen nádherné oči, ale to peří, mimikry !!! Je celý nádherný !!!! Povedlo se mu vyvést obě mláďata ?? (Reaguji opožděně, jako vždy jsme se snažili setrvat na chatě co nejdéle, jak to šlo.)
Díky moc :-) Mláďata nebyla dvě, ale dokonce tři! A pokud vím, tak všechna opustila hnízdo bez úhony.
Hello Lukas, precious moments by filming the parent and the chicks and this is so wonderful to see!! Greetings Gijs
Thank you, Gijs!
Skvělí záběry, díky.
Díky moc :-)
Wunderschönes Tier.
A heated down comforter with food service ! Happy times .
Ten výraz na konci 😀😀
Na hnízdě je holt trochu nuda... :-)
Я наслаждаюсь этой работой.
Thank you :-)
Великолепная работа!!!
Thank you :-)
This is magnificent! I wish I was there watching an Eurasian eagle-owl nest!
Thank you very much, I can't wait to go to the forest after the rain.
Greetings from Rome.
Thank you! :-)
Nádher, super text i video!
Hello Lukáš Pich. Thank you for the wonderful video, and also for all your other wildlife films. They are really great. I envy you the ability to watch and record nature that close. I have never had an opportunity to see an Owl in nature, only from recording and camera streaming. Sometimes I record videos from internet streaming, for example of Snowy Owls in Alaska. I noticed that you avoid showing some drastic moments, like feeding the young, though it could be interesting. Well, Owls are not vegetarians. But maybe it’s better not to show everything. Continue your great work and greetings from Canada. 👍
Well, actually I don't avoid showing drastic moments. On the contrary - to film the feeding of the chicks was my aim all along, but I didn't succeed :-D The parents fed them only after dark. However, there are some interesting moments that I managed to capture, and they will come in another video. Thank you for watching!
@ Thank you for your response. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your footage.
Krásne miesto a pekná práca 👍
Díky, pane kolego :-)
Very beautiful creature.
Ahoj Lukáši 🍀🦉🍀To jsou nádherné záběry a děkuji ti moc za ně i za popisek pod videem...Zajímavé informace, že se odváží i na mladé lišky, to by mě nenapadlo...I když moje zkušenost : Večer při venčení malého štěněte na zahradě u lesa taky na něho něco zaútočilo, naštěstí jsem byla blízko a při druhém náletu neznámý dravec odletěl 😬Děkuji za pěknou podívanou a přeji pěkný večer 😂AHÓÓJ 🍀🦉🍀👍👍👍
Zajímavé, Aleno. Doufám, že je štěně už velké a nic si na něho netroufne. 🤔🤗
@@FilipeCzech1986 Nejvíce jsem se lekla já, téměř nic nevidíš a jen ten zvuk křídel...🤗😂
@@alenamatejkova4256 To je mi jasné. 😁🙂 Naštěstí to dobře dopadlo. 🙂
Však to je oblíbená historka sokolníků, jak na jednom výřím hnízdě našli foxteriéra... prý :-)
@ Už píšeš tu knihu??????? 😂😂😂😂😂
Lukas, espectacular¡¡¡¡🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! :-)
Nádherný film a nevšední záběry. Dík.🌞Pavel🦊
Díky moc :-)
@ 🙂
Fantastic footage Lukas!!
Thanks!
They’re clearly big and tough enough to not fear most predators in that habitat. That nest can easily be reached by many small predators.
Yes, the chicks are safe when their mother is around.
Pěkný snímek a zajímavé čtení. 👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Díky moc :-)
Thank you very much! It was a very nice and interesting video. 🦉

Díky.
Bayquş hansı növləridir?
Klobúk dolu...neuveriteľné zábery...
Díky moc :-)
Genial👏👏👏
Thanks!
Senzační!
Díky moc :-)
Maybe we should build some rock caves for enrichment instead of just trees for captives . It might increase broody behavior in both sexes though . Eurasian Eagle Owls can be good fathers and surprisingly tender for a apex predator. The first time I saw it in a genetically confirmed male , I was shocked . Opened my mind .
vypada jak by o vas vedel, ze se na nej koukate, ale co s vama nadela..............
Proste krása. Veľmi dobrý kontent aj vybavenie. Maló odoberateľov na takyto kanál
Díky moc, taky bych se za trochu víc odběratelů nezlobil :-)
