18 January

Short video

Yesterday owl was sitting on the ridge again, but camera was mostly out of focus.

I'm not an attentive watcher enough, because I forgot to review the records in archiv
This has also been recorded in the highlights

3. February

19:34
Foxes on every nest place .... a healthy one this time and looks quite young

09. February

Good evening

Unfortunately, I do not know who it is ... Lotte or Leo?

°°°°°°°°

18:14

Leo arrives - and Lotte is flying in short after him. Leo is scratching the ground ... maybe he is trying to convince Lotte from this nest place for this year´s clutch?
Leo leaves first, Lotte is following.

Thank you Bea for this video
I opened the camera at the moment Lotte was just leaving.

I wonder whether Stefan Brücher is still going to make a try to improve the sound of the second camera .... it would be sad to have a "silent" camera in case they will nest there ...

Lotte at the traditional nest place and Leo at the same time on 2017 nest place





Happy Valentines Day

Videos a bit later ...

It was funny Each of them tried to coax the other to another nest.

Bea, I am waiting for your video, mine is only partial

Exactly

Looks like the nest place is still discussible

°°°°°°°°°°

18:15 - 18:34
Lotte is flying to the traditional nestplace, Leo lands a minute later at the 2017 nest place



18:16
Leo at 2017 nest place, he stays until 18:21
I suppose (according to the sounds one can hear later) that he changed over to the 2016 nest place. Cam stayed focussed on Lotte, so I can only guess

°°°°°

18:28
Leo came back to 2017 nest place, while Lotte was still staying on traditional nest place. She left there at 18:34, at this time Leo turns around again for another scratching session


He left the place at 18:47

°°°°°°°°°

There could have been a mating out of sight around 18:54:30

One can hear Lotte calling hoarse, one can hear Leo hooting and then one can hear short high pitched squeaking sounds .... and this is copulation call (at least I think to remember so ....)



Love is in the air

22:37
Handsome Leo is hooting near the traditional nest place


Lotte can be heard, too ... calling hoarse

...and later he flew to 2016 nesting place
