Good morning ! :wave:
Thought Karl has forgotten to clean up a little or he wanted to have more discretion by putting some branches in front of the cam ;-)

Image

But then came Kati to tidy up - *was my thought...
untill she came a second time and brought the next branch... :-)

What was that crunching sound at 10:01:50 ? Nothing was moving. Was the other male out of sight? I was afraid it was an egg but all was still.

The male is still out of sight- near the nest. He is preening himself.
he's more annoying than an adult :rant:

EDIT: Helen, The clack that you hear, he does with the beak. The eggs do not break so easily. You can drop an egg from 18 metre onto the forest floor. Nothing happens to it

thanks, Liz. After that, I heard little click sounds; it must have been him preening. I so wanted to think it was pips.

So close to hatching the chicks it is very big stress for Kati. You can see it. I do not like to see that.

:wave: Good day to Karula Forest,
but oh no, OFAF came as soon as Karl II left?
Maybe he looked the situation somewhere in a nearby tree,
Hopefully Karl II will be back soon !
