waiting and resting

8:27 he came in from the right.. or she? I have to check it
I'm afraid I shouldn't care at the moment. They look the same. Urmas, a little ring on one of them would be great

I think Jan came in.. his tail is more fanned than Janika's. Male also usually sings louder and in a different way than a female.. but i can't place that at the moment
