the prey. a better picture is not possible, the conditions are not good enough for it. The red is meat.
Someone in the YT chat claims- S/ he saw the entire bird, colored orange - black including the tail feather
I watched it in SLOMO speed 0.1. There's nothing specific to see there. out of flesh and black. I saw the wing when he placed the bird behind Helju. The wing is still visible

it takes pretty long! It started already on April 23 evening! I couldn't rewind far enough to know the exact time.
I hope everything will be fine. Hatching is a dangerous time

Theoretically it could take until tomorrow. We had such a case at Durbe Nest (WTE). Durberta takes an infinitely long time to hatch.
