[Anne7]

You're welcome, visit

11:04:57 I think OFAF is still in the area.


11:06:33

[Anne7]

11:35:47 OFAF again!


11:35:47 Kati attacks. She looks furious.


11:35:56


I have to go.

[Liz01]

11:36 he was still here... flew away and returned on the left side. Then he flew in an arc to the right.

11:46 all seems OK? No, he is still here. But he is not positioned over her anymore. This is less stressful for her- I think so

I have read back. Anne, thank you for the pictures and report.
visit, thanks for the video. If you have lost the sound in the video, it may be due to the gaps. The male sang a few times.

[Liz01]

11:58 male is still near
11:59 Kati stands up and is aerating the nest bowl

I think she does not take this male seriously. Could it be that she knows how young he is?
No wonder he sings all the time like Romeo.

12:02:50 Kati looks relaxed again


13:36:02 It is raining


13:38:18 Another PS

I'm afraid we won't see much of the hatching, with all those branches in front of the camera.

17:25:57 Karl II comes home.
"Have you seen your feet!? You mess up our moss!"


17:26:08 Kati leaves quickly

17:26:17 There is so much mud on his feet that the moss sticks to it.


17:26:19
