13:19 - Macho came to the nest. He landed on the branch, outside of the cam view, and Metra followed him. I did see a glimpse of a vole, but Metra grabbed it very fast and sat with her back against the cam. I don't know if she lost the vole, or if she ate it very fast Macho passed the cam in a glimpse when he flew off. ( I hope I wrote this understansable, it was a quick delivery )
- after the delivery, Metra sat on the branch, she was calling.

Today I saw Metra flying out and coming home with twigs, one aspen- and one pinetwig ....she is stuffing the nestbowl soft and comfortable for the things that will happen

Couldn`t take pics because cam was freezing whenever there happened something interesting

Yes time is approaching, it's very exciting...

18:46 - I opened the cam and Metra was gone..
18:57 - Metra returned to the nest, she was gone for about 11 minutes, maybe more..She brought home a spruce twig.

Metra call in the back, then....
I'm not sure, but I think there was zoomed.

[Fleur]

......I was thinking. Metra will still occasionally need to release pellet, maybe she does outside the nest?

Not I either. I hope everything goes well this time. Last year both Metras egg were damaged. But I think the incubation periode has been different this time. Macho has been much more visible, and I don't think Metra have been so often, and long, away from the eggs.

Fleur, a beautiful video. The zooming means that hatching approaches, and that others are waiting too..


Edit: 08:41 - Metra has been calling since breakfast, she wants more
I have to go to work. I have been to streike for one and a half weeks, and fortunately it was over last night, so now it is back to normal. Enjoy all the cams and have a nice day everybody
