Liz, thanks a lot for all your documentation here . I read it every day.

Gaja and Kaupo are a beautiful couple with beautiful names! And yes, they are very quick with 3 eggs already. I very much hope that all is (more or less) settled now .

I am happy for the information about Ozol´s nest. Thanks.

Compared to Ozol's nest 2015-2016, they spend a lot of time with each other.
I think that the food situation is here much better.
