Early in Friday morning, about 6 o’clock, Klaus brought a mouse for Klaara as an acknowledgement of his partner’s breeding efforts. Klaara probably laid the second egg in the evening about 7 o’clock but this we can only deduce from observing the behaviour of Klaara.

 

Viewers have asked earlier how the female can leave the eggs uncovered for so long time? In order for the following eggs to be fertilized, Klaus and Klaara have to meet; of course everything takes time and an undisturbed environment is also necessary. Klaara is likely to know much more about brooding than we do, she knows how to regulate it, and it is not cold outside.

 

A great amount of energy is needed for warming the nest; Klaus has surely put something delicious in store for Klaara for the evening meal. With such sitting on the nest limbs will surely go stiff and the night-time flights can be seen as exercises for health.
