14:43 Alla noticed something, she is super attentive for a few moments and follows another bird with her senses.


Then she returns to herself, nestles and stands in the nest.

14:52


I have now started my old device. I might need an extra eye today.

Alla is skittish.

Wellness for the feathers.

Alla is perfecting another branch on the edge of the nest...I think she will stay.




15:22 Ruudi is calling
...Alla stays

15:47 It's a bit restless from working nearby.

15:52 Alla rises, shakes her feathers, relaxes.
'54 again

15:55 Alla notices Ruudi before he calls. She answers from the nest - and stays?
Ruudi calls again.

...and stays?

Yes.

Ruudi must be around.
Alla gives a short sound over the edge of the nest ... and leaves the nest at 16:02.


16:04 Ruudi in with bark


'05 out -> mating

'09 Ruudi in
'10 walks out

17:19 Alla with bark ...
pull a little and out in '27.

The nest looks fine. It's not too deep as feared. We'll be able to see the eggs.

17:44 - 17:45 A short visit by Ruudi, he brought nothing
19:49 - 19:51 Ruudi
20:00 Alla lands

Polly

I thought there's not much left today...okay, I'll be back again.

The early evening often has a magical light.


19:49 - 51 And Ruudi came back again (...Alla now too)
Ruudi looks just as pregnant as Alla.

20:00 Alla lands

Yes...
Will she actually continue laying eggs at night?

Seems so.

Alla comes back into the nest.




There will be poor visibility soon.

Polly, I hope we'll see the egg in the morning

20:43 It's completely dark and Alla is still standing in the nest bowl

I guess so.
We don't have a chance anymore.




I was wondering if Alla was bothered by the crows today? There were some today in the day ... .
It is said that many prefer to lay their eggs at night in order to be more protected/not so easily discovered.

Let's wish Alla a good night after the stress.

edit: 21:16 I hear nothing from Alla, no rustling of feathers, no sighing but sometimes I think I hear Ruudi. But it can also be another bird in the forest.

See you!

Hello Polly - Hellem and everyone.

In fact, there were no apparitions in the first hours, but there were sounds and matings.

6:19-20, 6:32-33, 6:38-41, 6:45, 6:52, 7:01, 7:05, 7:18-20, 7:23, 7:27, 8:00, 8:05-07

Matings
6:41:57 , 7:20:15 There were also two failed matings.

Good evening and we are still waiting.

March 28th

Good morning everyone, Hellem, Emiliano!


Alla is in the nest first today.


She rises and works in the nest and we see the first egg!

06:57 Time out for Alla


Ruudi comes to the nest and Alla leaves. Ruudi greets the egg, tugs around it a little and waits most of the time for Alla or listens to the surroundings.




'57 Ruudi briefly leaves the nest but returns. In short, in '58 he's out again.

The egg is alone for 4 minutes when Alla 07:02 returns with bark and covers it.

In - out - visits from Ruudi.
With bark, pluck, kisses ...
07:53/54, '57/58,
08:00, '01/02

08:54 - 09:03 The egg and Alla are revealed.
Her movements are a bit stiff.






She completely covers the egg '03.

09:02 A crane is calling

09:21 next visit from Ruudi.
He brings bark and is quickly gone again.
