11:35 A female enters the nest.
She wears a silver ring on her left leg. Right looks empty?
Their calls are powerful and the female is already wearing a flowing wedding dress.
The little timestamp will kill my eyes.

It will be good to observe what is happening first. Also when it comes to gender. I'm sure I've already made a mistake.
Figuring out significant features, each will have its subtleties. His own voice and habits... who enters the nest and from which side preferred.
And - which nest will carry the eggs...
Have fun everyone and everyone is welcome to write and share observations. It's not my topic.
I first need to lay eggs in an Osprey Nest, which I have been promising for a long time.

Nest1
16:31 The female has already slipped into the branches.
She will eat the carcass and hop out withim of the nest tree a short time later.
This nest appears to be the camouflage nest.
Probably also used to hand over food.
*maybe later for Hawkkets/Juvenile too

@tringa, thank you very much for the information about the nest and the pair. 
Have the nest owners been the same since 2015 or have there been changes?

I just came across this nice short article about this nest near the Children's Hospital - and the many fans the goshawk has amongst the employees:"Watch the hawk... like a hawk"

Susanne, nice to read you! Many thanks for the link.
.... oh yes, I can understand that.She has also observed that often watching the goshawk with little patients helps to distract them from the unpleasant.

To see a goshawk flying to the left of the tree.
Returns, sits on lower branches but head is visible. He calls.
09:03 The female can be heard, the male is still sitting.
'04 She now flies into the nest tree. The male leaves the place.
'06 Now the female flies out, down, calls

10:04 A Jay
Quacks a voice that doesn't belong to him.
12:04 Two great spotted woodpeckers are romping and knocking through the tree.
Only one has the red neck ~ a couple?
The Goshawk pair does not show any major activity in this nest. Seems the brood will follow in Nest 2. While food may be handed over here. The visitors here will be different - no less interesting.
