Good Morning rockdove and all

rockdove, i don't know for sure. I think we have to wait and see what happens in the next few days. If Anna and Andris weren't here, we would see a fight for the nest. I hope it doesn't happen!
BTW: The Latvians also call them Anna and Andris.

Vērotāja DD Forum recognized her as Anna too

And in the YT chat Anda Balode ( Vērotāja) :
Par to vai tie ir Andris un Anna, drīzāk jau jā. Tāpat nav nekādu iespēju to ne apstiprināt, ne noliegt. Sauksim tā arī turpmāk.

GT:
Whether they are Andris and Anna, rather yes. Nor is there any possibility of confirming or denying it. Let's call it that.
