19:09 - Miina comes / Marko leaves

[sova]

20:05 - Marko did 2-3 laps until he got to the nest - He probably had great joy in the wind

[sova]

20:05 - Marko finally comes to the nest with a stick ... I thought he flew proudly, he brings half a tree.
Well .... Marko and timber, there are problems

[sova]

20:07 - since Miina did not want to go, although Marko tried everything, Marko flew away

[sova]

20:54 - Marko again with a stick .... Miina screams (no fish?)

[sova]

20:55 - Marko covers Miina with nesting material ... he tries everything that Miina flies away





Then he did it, Miina flies away

May 19. Good morning! Hellem and Sova, thank you for yesterday's updates, comments, reminders of the upcoming appearance of Chicks and pictures!
6: 37. Marko is Napping in the incubation. But his privacy was disturbed by a titmouse. It is actively working. After 2 minutes, the chickadee flew away.
It seems to me that Marko already knows the tit's place of work. 6:38. He looked at it carefully.

Marko has been at his post since 4: 43. As usual, Miina left for a morning walk after the night shift. Marko immediately jumped into the nest and covered the eggs.

Sova!

Good morning, Gavril

07:56 - Marko with a long stick, he had trouble with the stick
Miina flies away

[Gavril]

7:56. Marko's amazing ability to find and bring large sticks to the nest! Miina dodges the stick. Marko almost dropped the stick over the rim of the nest as he was putting it down. 7: 57. Miina flew away. Far to the right, 2 large birds flew over the forest.

8:54. The Raven speaks loudly. 8:55. An osprey flew past the nest from left to right. Most likely, it was Miina who flew to the Raven. By the way, the Raven's voice is being deleted. 8: 56. Miina flew into the nest with a tiny building material. It, unlike Marko, knows what material is convenient to work with in the nest. 7:58. A Raven is calling somewhere far away. Marko flew out of the nest. Now Miina is incubating.
