Hello all night owls (like me)!
01:01 - 01:09 Something is happening near the nest, Jan got another fright! Strange thumping sounds, rustling noise, branches cracking and falling - like a larger animal "working" on something. Jan is highly alert but does not get up. He looks to the right and towards the tree trunk. Jan sits alert, with a straight neck, for a long time after.

I wonder if it was an elk or a wild boar on the ground below the nest? If the microphone is very sensitive it surely would pick that up? It was very loud und sounded very near.

01:30 Jan gets up for a short nest routine and looks more relaxed now.

Hellem, Madlaa - thanx for reporting

15.21 - 15.23 Aerating
15.35- 15.37 PS, aerating, egg talk, rolling.
16.10 Feeding. The food was far away and Janika ate it back quickly. The biggest chick ate a lot, the others got some bites as well?
16.48 Janika rolls the egg, Ps, aerating.
16.50 Feeding. 1 and 2 ate. By the time 3rd chick got to the front, food was already gone. 1 and 2 are full.
16.52 Janika covers the chicks and the egg.
17.00 Aerating.
17.01 Nr 3 is biting its older sibling. Janika is preening.
17.05 Janika is arranging material and covers the little ones.

I can already see myself struggling to tell difference between the chicks. They are all quite similar to me. When I say 1,2 or 3, I'm not actually sure if it's the right birth order...i'm sorry in advance.

At about 18:14-18:15 the fourth egg was rolled and it seemed to have at least two black spots on it - maybe a bigger crack

Managed to get just a couple of poor pics


The egg in front of the chicks
