Today's night is bright. Iiris is seen sleeping. And the nest with surroundings are seen too.

Good morning friends,
the sun is rising after a peaceful night. Iiris liegt auf ihren drei Eiern, in the distance I heard a Peekaboo and all the dawn chorus of the many birds started. So peaceful.

[Jenny]

In the meantime you see a beautiful blue sky, the wind is swinging the nest and Iiris is probably waiting for Ivo serving her breakfast in form of a delicious fish.
Sorry that I wrote in my last entry a few words in German, but early in the morning the brain is not working right.

[Summi]

Good morning, everyone

insmod and Jenny, thank you for the pictures.

It's good to start a new day with bringing new furniture:
5:38 Iiris with a clawful of hay
7:31 Ivo with a long stick
