Karl was a few times in and out, he brought branches and moss, worked in the nest.

06.23 here he came with 2 branches
Image

07.27 pokes and aerates the nestbowl
Image

Then he pooped in front of the cam :mrgreen: and relaxed a bit and sang shortly.

07.31 oh, surprise, Kaia came home again :loveshower:

Karl II is singing happily, Kaia greets him happily, too (these pictures are all blurried :rolleyes: )

Good day :wave:
Tomorrow, 19.04.2021 at 13.30, it will be exactly 7 days since the arrival of our Karl II's girlfriend in the nest.
I believe that 19-20. 04. 2021 can wait for the first egg.

Don't you think he's getting more and more like our Karl ? Could he be Karl's son? I wonder if the genetic materials were taken in the dressing of Charles and Charles II ? Maybe he's a son. This explains why he continued to fly to the nest year after year, even under Karl ...

Hello Tatiana60 :wave:

Almost right :nod: Kaia was first on April 12th in the nest at 12:53. Anyway, she'll be here for 7 days tomorrow.
I don't even know whether there is a DNA result from Karl II. Maybe he's a son of Karl, who knows!
We humans find it difficult to assess exactly what similarities are to be looked for.

19:04:49 Karl II flies away to the left.
19:05:21 Kaia flies to the right.

19:08:19 Karl II back
19:08:29 Kaia back

19:14:34 Karl II away to the left.
19:15:26 Kaia away to the right.
Kaia looks very insecure and restless when Karl II takes off.

I get dizzy from that back and forth.

20:09:32 Karl II is back.

Kaia won't spend the night in the nest.

I noticed that Kaia didn't want to be alone in the nest... and she is in no hurry to return after Karl II...

:wave: Swenja, Tatiana,
thank you for reports and pictures :thumbs:

I'm a bit sad, Karl II is spending again the night alone in the nest.

Was it ever that difficult for Karl to mate with Kati ? Does anyone know or remember ?

April 19

Good Morning!

Camera off between 00:23:18 to 07:24:40.

07:28:14 Karl II comes to the nest.
07:28:43 Kaia is back.

Karl II wants to mate with Kaia. But it's difficult because Kaia doesn't seem in the mood at all.
Kaia appears to have injured her right eye. She often keeps it closed. Nothing is to see in eye.



08:30 Karl II fetches nest material and Kaia is wating.
08:31 Karl II is back.
08:49:30 Karl II flies away to the right. Kaia allone at home.
08:51:35 Karl II is back. He brings nest material.

08:54:13 Karl II sits in the nest and Kaia sits on Karl II.
08:58 mating attemp

09:33:59 Kaia slips off the branch :shock: and flies away.
09:38:20 Karl II flies away to the left.
