Piret is on the nest, and Madis above her - she has been talking to him constantly for several minutes. Now he flies off ~ she watches him go and becomes silent.

Yesterday evening I discovered that all the little flying "specs" in the background are birds.
Maybe you all saw it already a long time ago, but I thought at first it were mots or flies or something like it.
When they land on a tree branch one can see they are birds.
