10:27:36 anyone is nearby, Usin?

10:27:44

10:27:45 yes, Usin

[juta]

Solo, yes. I wasn´t sure if it was Tali who shook the kamera, but obviously was. Hope he(she) is not going to do that often

Maybe farewell by Karl
12:22 A beautiful butterfly is on the right from Karl

I think, Karl is thinking: "What a relief, home alone finally! Will have a nice and quiet evening"

[Hellem]

12:33 Karl pooped on the nest
12:35 Karl is resting, the butterfly is still flying around the nest and Karl
12:37 He left

Was this Karl's final departure? Yes, probably it was ...
While he was standing on the nest, he has been looking around and listening carefully.
Trying to find out where the kids might be? That's the impression I had.

Let's see if the kids return...

Can be it was Karl's last stay in his nest.
Hellem wrote he pooped.. it is a sign, that he will leave for this season. The second try I hope it for Karl.

Kids have to take care of themself.
They still breathe haevily, when they came to the nest. They still have a lot to practice

[Solo]

12:33 Karl pooped on the nest, 12:35 Karl is resting, the butterfly is still flying around the nest and Karl
12:37 He left

12:33:31 pooping

12:35:00 resting (it was also little homework)

12:37:09 Karl left

[Summi]

Thank you for the pics, Solo, especially the pooping one declaring the season over.
What a sad and a happy feeling at the same time!
it seems that ospreys of Irma-Ivo nest left also this morning

[Anne7]

...What a sad and a happy feeling at the same time! ...

I know exactly what you mean, Summi, I feel the same. Empty nest...


Bon voyage, Karl! I hope to see you and Kati again next year.
Good luck, sweet storklets, all the best! May you live long and be happy.

Before leaving for migration Karl would do more nest work, like Tiit always did. So I think he will be back.
