17:01 Teo has not yet returned to the nest,
the stump is covered with hay, probably since this morning,
when he brought that bunch of nest material

About 19:25/19:26 i heard an osprey calling near, two times, but no one to see

19:26 someone landed on the cam stand, i think it is the osprey i've heard
19:28 is still on the cam stand, i hear scratching noises, no one to see
19:31 i hear two far calls, of a tawny owl (?)


19:36 a little bird is visiting, a greenfinch ?
Image

or is it a siskin ?
Image


19:43 the osprey (?) is still on the cam stand, moving, but nothing to see, maybe flew off now ?
19:49 no, it is still there, i hear knocking noises from the cam stand and nest is wobbling
19:56 still there
