July 17.

Good morning,

07:34

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!

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

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

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

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.

11:33 Tuule lied down on her prey

Tatyana, IceAge

12:28 Tuule is trying to eat her prey
12:44 She tried to swallow the mole

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

22:14 Tiiu and Tuule are sleeping
