Coincidence?

From the left paw of Madis, to the left paw of Piret.

[jopie]

This is also a fact :

Most times the eggs are lying in the nestbowl:



and sometimes they are standing :

9.20 when I opened Piret was on eggs. Sun was shining but she had raindrops on her back

When I had my breakfast Piret had left and Madis on eggs, which according to Punto happened 9.26- 9.27, Madis is alone in nest 9.27

9.34 footsteps was for a couple of minuts heard and Madis was very much alert, but no panich and he didn´t leave nest, just looked


9.39 he was already calmed down and seemed a bit bored just to be on eggs


10.01 Piret came back to nest and Madis left

10.33 Piret preening


10.44 Madis went back and Piret left – Madis didn´t probably not bring food for her, nothing was seen when she left


11.15 when I closed cam. Madis still was in nest

[b.h-p]

I returned again 13.15 and Piret was in nest
13.31 Piret has already seen Madis


13.32 Madis arrived with a nice fish for Piret and she took it outside nest

15.00 Madis still on eggs and I close cam.

[b.h-p]

Back at cam. again and
17.50 Madis on eggs
18. 31 Piret came back and Madis left
19.22 now Madis was on eggs again (according to Punto the shift was 19.04-06 with empty nest and an Osprey flying away 05)
19.52 Piret came with nestmaterial I suppose, but left quick, and came back again with more nestmaterial about 2 minuts later – this time Madis left and after Piret arranged nestmaterial for some minut, she covered the eggs but more needed to be rearranged, so she spent about 15-20 minuts with that until she settled on eggs for real.





22.15 Piret called for a period and
22.27 Madis came and Piret left


Madis was the last one I saw on eggs today

[b.h-p]

19.56 Piret preened and lost a feather

[b.h-p]

Today I saw a lot of flying objects in background around 22.30, couldn´t recognize the way of flying to birds and then I got the thought if these might were bats and tried to get a picture - what do other say to that brown object?

Meanwhile there has been a change at the nest, now it is poor wet Piret guarding and breeding her almost offspring

jopie.
I haven´t much time for looking, but have nevertheless cam. open, and by luck I then saw Madis had left nest at 11.32, and I saw him come back again 1 minut later.

And I think it´s still Madis - poor bird in this awfull rain
