[Polly]

06:12 - 14 Ruudi brings bark and nestles.


06:28/29 Ruudi crashes into the nest very energetically. The landing was pretty close.
He brings bark.

[Polly]

06:47/48 Ruudi again with bark

07:23 - 26 both
First Ruudi is in the nest

...
probably notices Alla's approach


...and flies out to the side while Alla slips into the nest from the front.
Alla also brings bark.

[Polly]

07:43 - 45 Ruudi brings bark.


He fumbles a little and moves a larger branch to the edge of the nest.

[Polly]

Somehow it wasn't that well thought out with the branch... it's just in the way in a different way now.




When Ruudi leaves the nest, the branch falls back into the nest.

[Polly]

08:43 - 45 A déjà vu

The same images just an hour later. Ruudi brings bark, fumbles and pushes the branch out again.







09:14 - 17 Ruudi brings a small branch.

11:17/18 Ruudi with empty Claws.
A little tense or expectant.

[Polly]

13:19 - 21 Ruudi without nest material
He fumbles and looks around.

13:40 - 52 Alla
Even with nothing in his claws.


She leaves the nest but it sounds like she just jumped on a side branch.
'54 She jumps back into the nest.


This branch ...


14:05 out

[Hellem]

13:40 - 13:52 Alla with some nest material
13:54 Alla is back, 14:05 she flies away

17:15 - 17:16 Ruudi with a piece of bark
17:31 - 17:32 Ruudi with a lichen branch, 17:34 - 17:35 ... with a stick

[Polly]

It won't be long now. I would have expected an egg even today...

Good night, thank you @Hellem and see you tomorrow afternoon!

March 24th

Good morning Polly - Hellem and everyone.

First sounds of the day
5:37, 5:38, 5:51, 5:56, 6:19, 6:36, 6:37

Matings
5:53:02, 6:41:40 (as soon as Alla left the nest)

Alla there in nest
6:39:55 - 6:41:35

Good day to all

[Polly]

Hellem, Emiliano and @all!

...he continues finishing the nest...

it IS the perfect nest.
Basically, they just follow their instincts, right?
Maybe a little more bark... if I could ask for something.
On the other hand - let's look at the nest of H's in Riga. H21 will lay its eggs in Nest's abstract artwork where little has been done and all will go well.

Let's see, hopefully Alla will soon seek constant proximity to the nest and start laying eggs. Somehow they are all hesitant this season.

[Peregrine23]

Looks like alla going to lay egg day

[Polly]

Hello everyone,

it will be an egg day today!
Has she or not yet?

I'm just getting home from work now.

9:40-9:41 Ruudi visits Alla, they are talking

[Polly]

Alla doesn't seem entirely in agreement.
12:19

[Polly]

14:14 - 14:17 Ruudi visits Alla, they talk softly, Ruudi does a little nestwork, 14:15:44 Ruudi: "Where is the egg?"

A peacock has landed.


Ruudi looks under Alla's skirt.

[Polly]

...no egg.

[Polly]

15:54 -15:55 ... is back with a small twig

Thank you very much @Hellem!

[Polly]

Hmm, not an egg day.

There is conspiratorial calm over the grove.

16:16 - 16:18 ... with a piece of bark

...and well fed.
