15:40 He left

[ame]

Uku's fish


is there a crack line on the other egg or are there only some straws?


15:39 Uku jumped to the branch.


he flew away. and then a lot of seagull brawling! black-headed gulls i think.

the fish delivery at 15:30


a close-up of the baby. it will be difficult to hear the two eggs talking now that there is already a loud talker in the nest.
Anna stood on the fresh fish and ate another older fish.

[ame]

16:11 voices of a grey heron.
there were maybe two of them.

[Hellem]

16:28 Anna stands up and takes the fresh fish, it's still alive
16:32 Feeding begins
16:37 Anna is eating herself
16:42 Back on the eggs and chick

[Marfo]

[venegor]

while nursing 16:32

[Marfo]

17:39 I saw a hole in one of the eggs before Anna rolled them over. Or was it mentioned already?

[varahoidja]

Imho one of the eggs has really big hole/crack in it .. perhaps some of you have sharper photos :)

[Owlie]

... and I think I heard egg talk 17:40

A small animation of this morning
Is this ok? Or they may be a bit bigger?

hi sejana!
yes, the size is ok and it could also be bigger. nothing is said anywhere in the rules (i think) about sizes of gifs but i think that the same rules apply to them as to still pictures: no wider than 800 pixels and no higher than 600 pixels.
what is far more important about gifs is the rate of change of pictures. it should be slow enough. your gif is quite ok in that sense, too.

i have found that 1 s per picture or even more is still nice to watch. if the pictures are very much different from each other then the time per one picture should be even longer, perhaps even 2 s. if the pictures are not much different from each other then less than a second may be ok. if i have been uncertain i have made a slow and an even slower version to see which is better. usually the slower has been better.

Ame mentioned it on her/his 3:42 post :) Now I saw it too .. Was it the same egg?

[Hellem]

17:51 Uku landed with a bunch of hay
17:54 He jumped on the branch

[ame]

yes, i think you are right: there was both chick talk and even more egg talk!


there was also a big pip hole in the egg, quite clearly.


Uku came but my cam froze.
i think he brought hay?

... Was it the same egg?

i suppose it must be...
but it's impossible to know. they shuffle the eggs all the time.

[Malewitsch]

[varahoidja]

Around 18.00 Uku yawned ... is he tired already? But there´ll be another baby .. :) soon...
18:07 Anna is leaning down and listening carefully .. maybe tonight? :)

[ame]

yes, an big bunch of dry hay.
diapers for babies.




it may take hours before the next chick is out. for the first it took 10 hours...
i have to go...

[varahoidja]

If someone can take a review in their video - I think I saw Uku standing on one foot only (right one) like a stork .. :) He held his left foot up in the air in front of him. I hope he was just resting.
