March 8th



Good morning everyone,
Hellem!

Yes, the stream is literally frozen.
Currently it should be -4°C, light snow is expected.

The couple leaves early.
05:52 Shouts can be heard in the distance.

06:12, '18 Alla and Ruudi are chirping together, close now. The conversation turns into a pairing.

6:27 - 6:32 Ruudi

He comes back into the nest with volume.
06:29:18 - 22 An animal is walking underneath the nest. Reddish fur, too big and portly for a squirrel.
I don't know - fox?



Ruudi stands, looks ... he puts up his feathers, protects himself from the cold.
Ruudi and the viewing platform.



He leaves the nest extremely quietly.

[Polly]

06:33 Another pairing after Ruudi left the nest.

6:50 - 6:51 Alla

06:44, '46 Alla calls
06:50 Alla in the nest.
Only briefly, without much activity. But we can see that Ruudi is ruffling her back feathers.






10:32 Camera stops again

[Polly]

Okay, try again at 11:53
And we see Alla and Ruudi were active during the streaming break.
10:32


11:53

[Polly]

The stream isn't going well today.

11:55 - 12:16 Alla is calling
At first only with a single long tone, later she calls more energetically and emphatically. Sometimes it sounds as if their calls wandered in flight.
Ruudi seems to be outside.

[Polly]

13:28 The stream starts again.

I think we didn't miss many activities at the Nest.
(Possibly nothing. The nest looks almost untouched.)

[Polly]

Oh pity, the stream seems to be lost for today.

Let's be patient until all the technical challenges have settled down.

[Hellem]

14:10 The cam stopped again

Polly

[Polly]

The stream starts again at 18:04.
Today there will no longer be the big report book, but at least the evening with Alla and Ruudi will end.

I also experienced unexpectedly beautiful, exciting moments out of nowhere in the nest of H's.

Hm... maybe just an impression but the ground on the left side of the nest is covered with snow?
Well, it was announced.



Hellem

[Hellem]

Polly , for me the cam started at 18:54 (not 18:04)

Yes, it's snowing in Estonia

[Polly]

Sorry Hellem, yes.

Right 18:54.

[Hellem]

March 9



6:25 - 6:26 Alla
6:50 - 6:52 Ruudi

10:57 - 10:58 Ruudi
11:13 - 11:14 Ruudi
11:30 - 11:40 Alla

11:44 The cam stopped
11:52 The cam is back and Ruudi is in the nest, he flies away


Polly

[Polly]

Hello Hellem and all!

6:25 - 6:26 Alla 

Alla comes loudly but tenderly into the nest ... sends "Gjaks".






I think a control visit without any major objections.
Alla doesn't leave the nest through the trees as usual, but out in the direction of the camera.

06:28 Fast calls can be heard very close by.
06:34 Alla again

[Polly]

6:50 - 6:52 Ruudi

Ruudi jumps through the two trunks into the nest.
He doesn't work much either - he misplaced a branch.



His white skirt is really impressive.

Not sure, I think there was an aborted pairing 06:52.

06:53 Completed mating


06:54 Stream slips to 07:24

[Polly]

10:57 - 10:58 Ruudi

Ruudi in the sun and completely in love...
It can be heard and seen.





He quietly leaves the nest. I think Alla is not around.

[Polly]

11:13 - 11:14 Ruudi

A whole guy....







I think Ruudi is very strong for a male. Although (of course) more delicate than Alla - but of very strong stature.

I hear branches breaking.
Alla is little in the nest today or little present overall?

[Polly]

11:30 - 11:40 Alla

11:26 Shouts can be heard close by. Crack again.

Alla is slow in the nest.
She stands, looks ... fiddles little.

She ate well. It wasn't long ago - her left toes are still bleeding.

[Polly]

11:52 Ruudi's visit is also a quiet one.
He can be seen in the nest as the stream continues to stutter.



Flies away quietly.

Is it possible that Ruudi and Alla reduce their pairings?

12:02 Alla is calling

[Polly]

16:02 Ruudi flutters into the nest.
Outside, Alla is calling

He sits ...

Today there was little action in the nest. Nest building seems complete.

16:08 Ruudi is still sitting in the same position in the nest.
I wonder if he might want to lay the first egg.



Ah, he leaves the nest a minute later, 16:09.


pairing

16:11 - 13 Alla is calling.
Then the stream jumps to 16:44

[Hellem]

18:07 - 18:14 Alla
