Hello Swenja

First of all, a big thank you for the huge amount of brilliant work.
Documenting two nests is a lot of work!

The events of last night:
01:23:30 an owl? Kergu stands on the edge of the nest and is knocked out of the nest.

OMG!

The owl flies right past Kerli.


Kergu is pushed.


Kergu tumbles off the nest, the owl flies up, and Kerli is terrified.
