Thank you ame - that's so interesting... On that topic - just now Sulev responded to a distant eagle call!

[ame]

11:38 Sulev got tired of waiting. he must have known that Linda was near. he got up and took off. they have already hidden the egg inside hay.


then they sang together in the forest and then within a minute Linda landed on the nest.
FULL BRAKES!!


i got that on a video but again the sound and picture are so misplaced! you can hear Sulev leaving, both singing and Linda landing a long time before Sulev is seen leaving the nest. it creates a silly effect...

[Starling]

Sulev leaves.

Linda is back.

[laranjeiras]

wow!! never heard Linda make that sound!!

[Pitti]

Linda? in the nest. It is quiet, only some wind.

[ame]

yes, it's Linda there.
i think she yelled at a woodpecker who came too close (but i could not see it).

-the video was useless again, so unsynchronous sound and picture. i wish i knew how to fix that.

[Pitti]

Linda
She makes the nest more comfortable and is preening herself.

[Jo UK]

Linda is now in that half-crouch, chest up position, as she was yesterday before we saw the egg. Not fully on the nest bowl, though.

[Pitti]

I missed the woodpecker, too.
Stop and go with the cam today, also in Nova.

I'll try later again

[ame]

13:28 Linda got up and gave us a nice view on the egg.


she is now half-standing in the backside of the nest. next egg on the way?

[Jo UK]

She hasn't started the serious business of egg-brooding, yet. Wait until all the eggs are laid, Do we count the days from the date the first egg was laid, or from the day that brooding starts in earnest?

[venegor]

Linda airs a nest

[laranjeiras]

never seen her like this... hope she's alright.....

[Bea]

Linda calling several times

[fireblade1]

Linda called and Sulev came

[ame]

14:20 Linda stood up and began to yell and i was wearing a headset, wuaahh!

she called a lot. she must have seen someone flying around, someone (big?) else than Sulev because she didn't look pleased at all.

i think it's safest to start counting from the start, that is today. actually i already did. then we'll know when is the earliest possible day when something can happen.

EDIT: you right Fireblade! there Sulev is! i could not see anything because my head was exploding...

EDIT 2nd time: Sulev's flight was in the breakpoint of two recordings (Murphy's law!) so i can't make a decent recording of it. instead i took snapshots and made a gif of Sulev's flight to the background tree. for some reason it fails to upload in the Bucket (Murphy's law!!) and Mejuba does not support gifs. so i uploaded those picturesin a separate album: http://www.mejuba.com/albums/amelo/157097/1

[fireblade1]

because my head was exploding...

I understand . But sure, I am also not sure
Edit: Now I am sure

[Starling]

Sulev arrives with new nest material.

[Bea]

Sulev came home and Linda did a little wingstretch

[ame]

one egg i think.
