13:42 Raimis rolled the eggs. then he straightened the stick in front of him.
14:08 again, both the eggs and the stick.
14:23 again egg roll. then he straightened the stick in front of him, on the other side of the nest this time.

[ame]

15:01 Raimis rolled the eggs. then he worked with that one stick again. it is in a wrong place but he would have to get up to move it.

[ame]

15:58 Raimis rolled the eggs.

[ame]

16:16 Raimis called.
again. and more. and more.


.... Raimis is looking in the sky on the right... and on the left.


it's about Milda's time to return.
... but she didn't come yet.

[ame]

16:32 Raimis got up.


16:33 he flew away.


he called outside.

[ame]

Milda flew from the right over the meadow and landed on the left branch.


Milda covered the eggs.

[ame]

she fell asleep. she was leaning her beak on the stick which Raimis wanted to push aside. now it's useful.

12:42 a little bird is singing near the nest. a siskin?

Yes :-)

[ame]

thank you martinmiethke!

they have very loud voices although they are as small as blue tits, maybe even smaller. there's also often a lot of of them in a group, especially feeding together. that also makes them sound loud.

17:13 Milda rolled the eggs twice.

[ame]

in YT chat:
"rodjur ​17 49 FISH"

well done Raimis! and thank you rodjur!

17:48:40 Milda began the fish song.
17:49 Raimis brought a fish with very red flesh. he had eaten the front of the fish.


there were some very big scales on the side of the fish. i suppose it was a carp (sorry Abigyl )
17:50 Milda flew out with fish. Raimis had blood all over his toes and claws.


he stayed and rolled and covered the eggs.

[ame]

18:40 Raimis rolled the eggs.

[ame]

19:10 Milda came home. i think she had something.- it was a stick.


Raimis jumped to the right branch and began to gnaw it. Milda rolled the eggs.

19:13 Raimis flew away.

[ame]

19:54 Milda got up. she ruffled her feathers. then she rolled the eggs.
19:57 she got up again and rolled the eggs again.
edit: the Moon came visible already in the end of this video. it's above to top branch.

[ame]

20:18 full moon in the sky.


20:20 a lot of voices of cranes.
20:22 again. there were also voices of cranes calling on the ground.
20:22:40 two or three flocks flew by on the right side.
20:23 the closest flock.

[ame]

20:40 Milda rolled the eggs.
20:43 she rolled them again twice.


20:50 a swan (or two?) flew near by the nest tree from right to left and startled Milda. then one swan flew by far on the other side of the meadow near the forest edge at least twice.

[ame]

20:59 (almost) Milda put her head under the wing.

[ame]

21:41 Milda got up. ... then she lay down. did she roll the eggs? i could not see. she was standing in front of the eggs.
... i can see her back now. there's bright moonlight shining on the nest.


the Moon will be in better direction later. now it's quite opposite to the camera blinding us now.

edit: i made more egg roll video from the late evening. the light was so exceptional.
22:51 Milda rolled the eggs.
23:33 again.
