The male leaves the nest, probably on a side branch. He is later seen in the background exiting the tree.

Angel continues her partner's work, and then lies down in the nest bowl. :innocent:

On the next visit, Angel is working on a branch that has a crossed branch.
Now it's sideways and even if Angel tries to push it down - the nest now has an antenna. :laugh:

:puzzled: The antenna branch could be used as a support to raise the edge of the nest.
Then we could not see the children of the pale beauty. :slap:

... hopefully not :unsure:
But in statics of nest building they know better. :laugh:

March 20th

Hello Biker, rysx, @all! :hi:

The couple continues to work hard in the final sprint. They bring soft nest material.

First the male...
Angel lands on a side branch shortly after, also carrying nesting material in its beak. She waits patiently, letting her partner work in the nest. He digs and lays.
Image

Angel then approaches the nest, her partner makes way, then leaves the nest.
Angel crushes, lays...digs.
Then lie for a few moments. :innocent:

Hello Polly & Biker. :hi:

Angel comes to the nest in the afternoon and stays for over an hour. Promising. Will there be eggs before the end of March?
And I heard that the male was named Tom.

Wow, that was quick now.

Great!!!! :headroll:

March 25th

Tom (a very cute name, by the way!) came into the nest while Angel sat on the egg.
She had no objections and left the nest.

Tom and the Egg...he seems so awkward and so overly caring! :2thumbsup:
No...he won't lie down on it for now. Tom better wrap it up. He rolls and rolls and wraps it in nesting material. From time to time sneaks a peek at where his partner is...and leaves the nest after many minutes.

In the afternoon, Angel "sails" to the nest and returns to incubation duties.
