[Francesca_V]

6:50 here comes the sun ...



a woodpecker is around.


7:47 Kergu returns and is singing.


7:50 just enjoying

[Francesca_V]

8:00 preening himself


8:09 scratching himself


8:10 can please someone take this branch away?

[Francesca_V]

8:30 Kergu seems a bit undecided. he plucks here and there and pauses again. He looks as if he is surprised about this nest - is it his at all? should he really work on it?

9:00 Kergu sing a little song

and relaxes with his beak between the feathers of his breast.


9:07 a woodpecker pecks.

9:47 Kergu sings from time to time.
although the singing always sounds like lamentation to human ears.

9:30 Kergu is doing a little housework - but something obviously doesn't feel alright. He started to .. sing.


10:53 hey Kergu, what's the matter?

[brofasa]

I think it is the large branches, since he seemed quite uncertain when he arrived. He does not seem to like them on the nest. Now he has to build a new nest basically on top of it to make it comfortable from where I am observing this. I might be wrong, though. Just my personal observation.

[Francesca_V]

brofasa,
that's what I think too!
he does not like it this way.

[Francesca_V]

12:04 Kergu has worked a lot on his nest:

Kergu checked the comfort of the nest with these new logs with tests in two directions .... maybe not so bad at all, Kergu?

11:55


13:31


He left the nest at 13:43

[Francesca_V]

15:45 Kergu is getting used to the new branches in his nest: he made a successful PS.


16:33 Kergu sings a minute or two
16:36 Her flies away

Kergu returned to the nest at 19:18

Dozing on one leg


Maybe the last lonely night on the nest?
