Karl is a perfect jewel in many senses

I'm worried about Kati. I hope she comes soon.

12:52 Carl is calling
12:54 He flew away

[Michi]

Hello all,
have you heard that calling from Karl? Just now, at 12:52 nest time.
He called intensely and loud, was dancing around, he was very agitated, and I was sure, that Kati would show up at nest.
But she did not come. Karl left the nest at 12:54, was back in the same minute. Called again und left the nest half a minute later again. Now nest is empty.
I'm sure, there is something in the air ...

12:52






Edit:
13:03 Karl is back on nest.
No, he left again, in the same minute.

Hellem, hello!

14:13 Karl is back, calling

[Michi]

14:13 Karl is back at nest, but he comes alone. Again longingly calling.
I had the idea, that he could have met Kati outside the nest. But obviously it wasn't so.

14:25 Karl lies down on the nest
14:28 Stands up again, preening

[baska]

Hello

Again and again: he is so beautiful !
