The first night with the beaver camera was promising – before midnight the sound of a beaver chewing at a tree was audible quite close, also frogs quaking, cranes, mallards and tawny owl. At 00.37 the beaver already moved around in camera view. In the morning and in daytime too fish splashed in the water, backs sticking up from the water. Probably roaches.

In the early morning light we saw the first egg in the nest

Black stork        Must-toonekurg          Ciconia nigra     

 

Looking back a little in time: male Karl arrived at the nest on April 4. He was more or less ready with the renovation of the nest in the morning of April 4, when female Kati arrived.

From the egg with ”holes”in it sounds could be heard late in the evening

So owl mother Klaara laid her eggs in the nest trunk on March 15, 18, 21 and 24. This  is how larger birds particularly birds of prey do,  because the development of larger eggs is an energy-intense activity.

In the evenings Klaara has been actively ”clattering” the eggs around and socializing with them in a quiet voice (with male Klaus she communicates quite differently).
