Hello to all!
8.30 Tõnn brought a vole. Tuule idly eats her in parts.
8.38 Tõnn brought one more vole. Tuule immediately swallowed her!

[Tatyana]

8.56 Tõnn with a vole! Tuule leaves a vole in the nest. Then lazily starts to eat it.

[Tatyana]

10.38 In the forest, the alarming voices of Tiiu and another bird are heard.

[Tatyana]

10.43; 10.49; 10.53; 10.55 Tiiu flew with the branches.

[Tatyana]

11.21 Tõnn brought a mole. A mole harder than a vole, Tuule cannot eat him and calls Tiiu to feed him. Tuule stands before the mole and waits for Tiiu.

[Hellem]

11:33 Tuule lied down on her prey

15:02 Tiiu came home, she brought some halfeaten prey (can't understand what it is) and is calling alarm
15:06 Tiiu is still calling
15:16 Tiiu is still calling, Tuule is eating the prey (probably a big frog)
15:20 Tuule swallowed the frog , Tiiu is still on the nest
15:25 Tiiu flew away

[Hellem]

15:44 Tõnn brought a mole again, Tuule put it on the nest, is calling

[Tatyana]

14:12 Done! Tuule swallowed the mole

How to swallow a mole (master class from Tuule).

[aita]

many thanks to all of you.
Great. it was probably a young and small mole.

I remember how a parent (LSE Eha) had to use all of her body power to get a piece out.
Mole, this is not an easy food (especially an elderly mole).

Good work, little Tuule.
Also everyone, who posts here.

[Tatyana]

18.44 A loud long whistle is heard. Tõnn brought another mole.



18.48; 18.59, 19.00 and further the quiet hoarse whistle as if the person whistles is heard. Or is it Tiiu?
This whistle was heard and even earlier.

[Tatyana]

19.11 Tuule lies in the nest, the mole brought by Tõnn lies nearby, large flies crawling along it.

[Hellem]

18:02 Tiiu came home and brought a vole, Tuule swallowed it immediately
18:15 Tiiu flew away, she didn't feed Tuule (there is the mole brought by Tõnn at 15:44)

18:44 Another mole by Tõnn

19:23 Tuule is resting
19:24 Tiiu came home and brought a green branch

20:24 Finally Tiiu took the older mole (it was under Tuule's belly ) and started feeding Tuule
20:30 The mole is gone, Tuule swallowed the last big piece
20:31 Tiiu flew away, 20:34 she is back

[Hellem]

20:39 Tiiu takes the second mole and continues feeding Tuule
20:49 The mole is gone, Tuule swallowed the last very big piece, her crop is full , Tiiu took a pellet and flew away
20:52 Tiiu brought a spruce branch, she took a pellet and left again
20:54 Back with a spruce branch
