mogga, video is great, everything can be seen, which is important ... did you notice where M2 came to the nest and called, came to me before he started playing the melody. I always had the feeling that the next moment I recognized the melody ... well, crazy

Thanks sova

I didn't notice the melody...

[sova]

20:55 - M2 has decided to fly a bit

[sova]

...
I didn't notice the melody...

mogga .... with a bit of imagination

[sova]

21:11 - Nest is empty

Good night Hellem, mogga ... M family
Good night to all

...
P.S. We have completely forgotten sova's question: should osprets have names?

Yes, we forgot. And now it's already very late, it won't be long before they're gone...

We should have agreed on our own. @Bea is missing, so she couldn't start an extra thread for naming. She's already wanted by the police. Who last saw her, any witnesses?

Good evening to all

19:00 Marko with fish for XC.





The poor fish was still alive, XC lost him, then he lies on the nest floor. Some moments later XC took the first bite.

[Birdfriend]

19:08 X4 is loud calling for fish too...
The weather has finally changed in Estonia, soon it will be raining.

19:11 A tug of "fish".


The winner is XC.

19:22 XC is full and lets the fish her/him sibling X4.


19:24 Meanwhile XC does a bit nestwork.


19:26 XC left the nest, X4 is eating.
