If you right clique you can get the video to open in another tab or window.

I thought you were all saying 'Kick me" and I wondered what George had done to deserve that. LOL
I am very slow on the uptake sometimes.

Looks like this couple are bonding nicely.presents and nest materiel.

5.57 Eha in the nest, calling.

I think this is Eha working on the nest this morning. Koit seems to have longer, thinner legs. but I could be wrong.

Hello I also have some pictures of Eha from this morning.
07:17 - working with the nest:

07:18 - just before leaving:


19:44 - Empty nest, windy and birds song

Still pretty dark, but I hear rain & birds singing.

Good morning

One of the LSEs was here around 10:00 but couldn´t take a picture

Eha (?) was at the nest with a frog, she began to rip it, but then left with the frog to the branch on right .

The birds are on and off at the nest during the days ... but make not really an attempt to lay an egg ...

Hello Bea,

was the Frog for the 2nd Breakfast?

@Flex
The time would have been right for it

Now Eha is on the nest again, sitting and doing some nestwork, too

Both Eha and Tuuli are now calling.

Before Eha left she took a twig from the branch in front and brought it in a right place in the nest




Then she made the same with a twig from the big branch on the right side - seems she doesn´t want to fly far for nestmaterial

At 20:31 Eha was on the nest for a minute and left again at 20:32

April 18

Eha was in the nest when I looked at 7:00, and then Koit joined her. They both jumped to the branches and snapped off bits for the nest. Bea took a wonderful picture of this yesterday! Both have been back and forth bringing branches.

Does the nest look deeper, with more branches today?

Eha as been sitting there, calling out every so often. Sometimes geese honk their way past.

Good morning
08:13 - Eha (I think)in the nest, calling:

- and here he comes, Koit, with a twig:

- something is in the air:

-08:18 - mating

- another twig is delivered, and at 08:23 the nest is empty

08:25 - back with more twig, they are working serious with the nest this morning:

- both

- trying the nest bowl:

- this is very exciting. I wish I could stay, but I have to go to work. Have a nice day and enjoy the cams today everybody

At 10:37 Eha is on again and seems to stay at the nest for a while

Good morning

Eha or Koit was here with a prey in her/his beak, but couldn`t take a better picture - I was out of the room and came in when I heard her/him calling and got it only from the back
The bird stayed only for seconds, then took off with the prey.



I think prey was a frog - look at the wet panties of the bird
