Short video

[Mamicja]

Yesterday owl was sitting on the ridge again, but camera was mostly out of focus.

[Mamicja]

I'm not an attentive watcher enough, because I forgot to review the records in archiv
This has also been recorded in the highlights

09. February

Good evening

Unfortunately, I do not know who it is ... Lotte or Leo?

[Bea]

°°°°°°°°

18:14

Leo arrives - and Lotte is flying in short after him. Leo is scratching the ground ... maybe he is trying to convince Lotte from this nest place for this year´s clutch?
Leo leaves first, Lotte is following.

[Mamicja]

Thank you Bea for this video
I opened the camera at the moment Lotte was just leaving.

[Bea]

I wonder whether Stefan Brücher is still going to make a try to improve the sound of the second camera .... it would be sad to have a "silent" camera in case they will nest there ...

Lotte at the traditional nest place and Leo at the same time on 2017 nest place





Happy Valentines Day

Videos a bit later ...

[Mamicja]

It was funny Each of them tried to coax the other to another nest.

Bea, I am waiting for your video, mine is only partial

It was funny Each of them tried to coax the other to another nest.

Exactly

Looks like the nest place is still discussible

18:15 - 18:34
Lotte is flying to the traditional nestplace, Leo lands a minute later at the 2017 nest place



18:16
Leo at 2017 nest place, he stays until 18:21
I suppose (according to the sounds one can hear later) that he changed over to the 2016 nest place. Cam stayed focussed on Lotte, so I can only guess

[Bea]

18:28
Leo came back to 2017 nest place, while Lotte was still staying on traditional nest place. She left there at 18:34, at this time Leo turns around again for another scratching session


He left the place at 18:47

[Bea]

°°°°°°°°°

There could have been a mating out of sight around 18:54:30

One can hear Lotte calling hoarse, one can hear Leo hooting and then one can hear short high pitched squeaking sounds .... and this is copulation call (at least I think to remember so ....)



Love is in the air

[Bea]

22:37
Handsome Leo is hooting near the traditional nest place


Lotte can be heard, too ... calling hoarse

[Mamicja]

...and later he flew to 2016 nesting place
