Hooting around the traditional nest place, I am not 100% sure, but I think I heard Leo farther away short before one could hear Lotte close.
Short before the cam moves upwards to Lotte on the roof a mouse escapes from traditional nest place before Lotte could think about having her for breakfast

07:59
Lotte takes off, direction opposite ridge, still in snowfall



Hi romy Nice to see you back

22. January

17:28
Lotte arrives on a rock nose lower from Leo´s perching point (which is close to the time stamp in the picture)


Few seconds later Leo takes off and flies over to the traditional nest place, he struggles a bit with the dry branch
He is hooting in display

Cam operator catches Lotte (?) sitting on the roof over the traditional nest place

20:59
Lotte pooped and left, after she was on the roof for about three hours, observing her territory



On some days in the (~about) last two weeks I also heard sometimes a Tawny Owl calling

Just a glimpse of an Great Horned Owl (UHU)...

26. January

Lotte (?) was on the opposite ridge from 17:39 to 19:23

23:26
Lotte arrives at the traditional nestplace for display, there was hooting with Leo before landing in
They kept talking with each other and Lotte made a few renovations around the nest bowl

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

23:59
Lotte left, someone had caught her attention and she maybe had to look after things going on.
She kept on hooting with Leo after she took off

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

She had her left eye nearly completely closed for a while and only the right one was opened, but it looks that the left eye works "normal" when she needs it ...

Loooong video of her whole stay - for the geeks among us
