11:17: Milda returns with fresh spruce, and Madis' only chance to avoid collision is to jump off the nest.





- The orange bud grows in an observer-friendly direction, it seems.
Because Milda often eats her food elsewhere, Madis definitely has more time to cover the eggs (in Zemgale, Anna usually swallows her food while on the nest, and only from time to time does she grant Andris access to the nest bowl and the eggs, max.: 5 minutes. Different habits, different characters, different peculiarities. They are all LSEs, they are all individuals. I just love to learn such things from the birds I observe!).

13:42
Madis brings a vole and Milda flies away with it.



13:52
Milda comes back and both are very excited because something is flying over the nest.

IceAge!
Yes, this was quite an exciting moment. When the prey was handed over, I thought: hmm, this is a bit unusual. Madis was very agitated, indicating a begging pose (indicated wing flapping).



Watching the surroundings:



13:52:07: Yellow square: an LSE (Milda most probably) flies from there two storeys higher. Calls. - Madis is not relaxed.

13:52:27 f.: Two big birds leave the trees where they branched, almost simultaneously.
Yellow square: The stranger. Milda perched two trees further to the right.



Milda circles in from the right. The stranger's shadow can be seen, he/she soars high above and past the nest.



Some commotion. - Very hard to tell if this was a conspecific - or one of another kind. For me, there was no apparent difference of size (but it happened in quite a distance ...)
