I wonder about that too :puzzled: I heard it last year also, but I could not find out... :help:
Thank you Bea and Fleur for great pictures and videos. It is very nice to see Macho again.
11:26 - Metra is calling now and then, and the unknown bird is calling constant..it`s windy.

Thank you for your answer Vainamoinen :wave: The norwegian name for Oriole is Pirol, but we do not have the species here unfortunately..

I have a picture from the food delivery at 15:12. When I compare my picture with Beas, I think I must have taken the picture just when Metra swallow the large vole.. :rolleyes:

I have not seen Macho in the nest for some days, so it was nice to meet him again :thumbs:

It has been raining and Metra is wet. A Wood Pigeon was calling, among many other birds.
19:54 - The leaves on the trees grow, and it turns green around Metra..

I heard Metra anouncing Macho and she was very excited ...
Image

... and the reason was the prey he brought :thumbs:
Image

... she nearly fell out of the nest when grabbing it :mrgreen:
Image

... looks like the leftovers of a fish (???)

She saved the prey on the other side of the nest ...
Image

... and began to rip it .... must have been delicious :mrgreen:
Image

Image

Image

Just when I began to ask myself what she would do with the bones when she was ready, the cam was freezing :bash:
So I can only guess that she took it out of the nest because I can`t see them any more ....
