Deli!
Yes, the time until the chicks hatch is a bit calmer.
However, we have a very strong and idiosyncratic team here. They always prepare some action.

17:27 Vita broods diligently.
17:29 Teo brought a big headless fish. Vita took it and flew away.
Teo covered the eggs.
17:57 Vita is back.
17:58:45 A strange bird flew over the nest.
18:01 Vita departed again.
18:38 Vita returned.
18:42 She sat again on the eggs. Satisfied.
Teo left (very elegant).

21:41:28 Wild geese (?) flew by and shouted very loudly. Vita was a bit irritated. Similar at 22:02.

First egg was laid on April 24th. Incubation period normally will take 34-41 days. So we have to wait for eight to ten days to see first hatching.

12:15 Then she got up and flew away. Only for a short time.
12:18 She returned.
17:07 Teo brought a stick
and placed it on Vita.
18:55 Vita was very hungry and just in time Teo brought a big fish. Vita was delighted.

5:32 Teo brought an halfeaten fish. But Vita flew an extensive round first.
So Teo took some more bites.
5:35 Vita came back and got the fish.
5:51 She is back and takes over. No chance, Teo.

13:31 Teo brings a branch to decorate Vita and their home. She's not amused and takes flight.
Now we have a special view on the scenery.
But Teo is not satisfied. Summarily he shortened the branch with his beak.

14:46 Teo brings nest material but Vita is chirping for fish.
14:50 Teo is in pause mode so Vita goes fishing herself. He takes over the eggs.

Deli, you will receive a huge thank you from me for your efforts in the past few days.
It is reassuring to read your posts after work ... reassuring that you let this nest live here. And reassuring that everything is as usual.
But...
14:50 Teo is in pause mode so Vita goes fishing herself. He takes over the eggs.
....that is new.
Maybe and hopefully the chicks will have more passion for communication from other observers.
