4. April

13:20
Female was feeding the last bites to the chicks when the male arrived with new food
One of the chicks is a bit very close to the nest rim!

°°°°°°°

13:30
Male came in with some funny furry food (?) item ....

°°°

13:58
This episode starts with a good poop shot from one of the chicks


The male returned and worked with this furry item, he treated it as if it should be some padding for the nest, no food

°°°°°°°°

14:30
Mom Buzzard also thought that the nest rim is too flat and brought new greenery as a fence




Aaand another poop shot over the rim

°°°°°°°°°°

8. April

One of the parent birds has brought a black plastic bag to the nest

°°°°°°°°°

During a feeding the plastic bag was trampled flat

°°°°

14:09
Plastic bag was buried under some new greenery




Buzzard chicks sleeping on the plastic bag :(

21. April

13:02
Chicks are growing and parents do their best to fill these four always hungry beaks, it is a coming and going to bring enough prey for the kids.



Kids are already leaving the nest and some of them prefer to sit a bit more outside

°°°

15:21
Short zooming-out, one can see the place where some of the kids prefer to sit.
The black plastic bag is still there and swaying with the wind :(

A bunch of dry grass is quickly "melting" with the nest, but the new twig appears to be rather difficult It will take a while, until it fits ...
