I wonder if Kergu had a serious talk with Kerli after she stayed away so long repeatedly.
No, seriously, I can imagine she found a good food source closer to the nest. Which would be very good, especially with regard to feeding the chicks later on.

Hello Hulbi Lorm
So far Kerli has explored various places in the neighbourhood. I also hope she has found her good spots. I think that,
like Kaia and Kati,
she tends to collect creepy-crawlies and frogs.
Kergu doesn't fly very far. He's practically at home in the area and perhaps that's why it's easier for him.
But let's not forget that they have to cope with a difficult infrastructure.
