:rotf: yes, it's badly in the way. and the poor birds don't seem to be strong enough to either push it aside or to break it. :slap:

Pruuni lies down quietly and peacefully. sometimes it get a little up and turns to a slightly different position. then still again... :innocent:

could this be for real...? could today be the day?

after 11 Pruuni got a little restless: it rose up, turned round, arranged twigs and stuff and began to call more and more frequently.

at 11.07 Halli meowed from far and they called to each other... then Halli arrived at 11.08.
here they are side by side in same posture. difficult to see much any difference, except size... but there's also a little delusion because of perspective: Pruuni is just a little closer to the camera. i think Pruuni is on the right.
Image

Pruuni left at 11.09 and Halli followed her almost right away.

i didn't hear it come in because of the wind. i only noticed it when it said kaa. then it climbed to the back branch.
EDIT: it arrived at 13.32. again it didn't seem to bring anything. :puzzled:
Image

and left at 13.35.

both buzzards made a quick visit at 17.38 when both landed almost at the same time.
Image

then Halli left. i think it flew around the forest opening because Pruuni was looking around up in the air.... they called to each other...

then Halli returned to the nest at 17.40.
Image

they both called a lot and it sounded like there was a third buzzard still in the air. both were looking up. then it seemed like Halli tried to climb on Pruuni's back and i thought YES!
Image

...but then no... Halli spread his wings over Pruuni, both called and they looked angry... then they left one after the other.
Image

and there was still a lot of meowing from the air as they flew away.... maybe an intruder again? :puzzled:

the other returned to the nest at 17.50. it may be Pruuni. she's staying there quite quietly, lying down and looking in the forest....

Image

since that Pruuni has mostly been sleeping, leaning on her beak. ...
EDIT: i found this picture posted by venegor on the Latvian WTE-nest thread. i don't believe that venegor is unhappy if i copy it here. it' taken at about 18.30.
