Another new being has entered the world, the second buzzard-to-be was hatched on Sunday and we expect the third to be hatched on Tuesday.

We can note that the female has lifted the irritating egg shells to the edge of the nest – the shells are not thrown out of the nest, in order not to give notice of what is happening in the nest to other forest inhabitants. Buzzards “garnish” the edges of the nest with fresh spruce twigs during the whole nesting period.
