10:14 an eagle flew to the meadow and landed the under the poop branch.
(i'll make a close-up later)

10:15 the eagle took off from the meadow. ... and Raimis brought a big bunch of hay. he worked on the nest.


edit: this turned out to be more complicated than it first seemed.
at about 10:14:40 an eagle flew from right to left over the pond and vanished.
10:15:35 an eagle took off from the meadow under the poop branch. that was Raimis who brought hay. i could not see when he landed there. it is possible that Milda flew first and continued away over the pond and then Raimis came to pick hay. or there was only Raimis who flew over the pond, turned back and landed on the meadow to pick hay.
i simply cannot see.


10:17 Milda came empty-handed. they worked together. then Milda went upstairs.


10:19 Raimis went to the left branch.

10:24 Milda flew out over the meadow. i think she landed there under the poop branch, above the top of the spruce.
(i'll make a close-up later)

10:26 she seemed to fly from there or change place. there was also a bird's voice which sounded like the jay-eagle. Raimis was looking there.

[ame]

10:27 Raimis jumped back to the nest. the jay-eagle called again.

10:29:00 Milda flew from the meadow. ... around the nest. ... and she came with hay.
they worked together.

[ame]

10:31 Raimis began to sing. ...


10:32 mating.


Milda went to the top branch.

[ame]

10:33 Raimis worked a little. then he ruffled his feathers.




i have noticed that he does that every time after mating. one would think that Milda's feathers would get unorganized in mating but no, it's always Raimis whose feathers get mixed up.

[ame]

10:35 Raimis worked...


10:39 Raimis got up to the left branch and Milda came down to the nest.


Milda worked on her turn...
10:41 Raimis flew out.

[ame]

10:43 Raimis brought a stick. he started work under Milda's supervision.

[ame]

10:46 Milda flew out to the right.


Raimis worked on...

[ame]

10:53 Milda brought a short but thick stick.


they worked together...

[ame]

10:54 Raimis sang again to Milda. he is running steaming hot this morning!


Milda didn't take him seriously at all so he jumped to the right branch and began to tear it.

[ame]

10:58 (nearly) Milda jumped to the left branch.


10:59 she flew out to the left.

[ame]

Raimis stood mostly idle on the right branch. he didn't really know what to do after Milda left.
11:14 Raimis flew away.

[ame]

11:19 Raimis brought more hay.

[ame]

i may have heard voices... every now and then, like the jay-eagle in the forest. Raimis is perhaps listening to that voice, too, or maybe not. it's hard to tell.

[ame]

11:42 Raimis flew away after standing on the nest, looking and listening for a long time, about 22 min.

[ame]

12:45 ravens came for a nest check. they have been away many days.

[ame]

14:12:40 a small flock of swans (about 6) flew to the right.


i made a close up clip of them. white birds are so difficult to see against the grey sky.

[ame]

two young eagles visited! first a girl perhaps


...followed by a very submissive eagle, who seemed to have thinner ankles than the first. he knelt down almost on his face in front of the girl.


both flew away but the other flew to the top of the spruce on the right.
no, both flew to tree tops on the right. the girl flew to a tree near the tip of the poop branch and the boy flew to the spruce on the right.

[ame]

14:27 (nearly) both flew away over the meadow towards the pond.


i made a close-up clip of the two flying to tree tops and then away.
