Well, could it be that the female isn`t Mrs. Right for Ilmar???



What a pity that we couldn´t observe the arrival of Ulla and Uldis to compare, cam was off that time due to low batteries ....

[Jo UK]

Bea, that is what I think. This is not a promising start to a grand love affair

12:36 The first mating

[Rhapsodya]

2nd mate time!! Ilmar don't waste time!!

[javabird]

I think this is the first time they meet.
They just don't get familiar with each other.
I really don't think there's any hostile from both.

[Jo UK]

Most likely you are right, javabird

[Starling]

Maybe the mantling is just normal behavior... They have been a long time separated. Maybe males need some space in the beginning?

Looks like Ilmar likes the nest Kotkaklubi Eaglemen prepared for him - but individual changes and additions seem to be necessary, too

[Rhapsodya]

Ilmar arrived with a big stick... he start to re-build the nest :)
