18:56 - Metra is home, she is calling from time to time.

20:01 - Bad weather

20:04


19:08 - Unfortunately I didn´t see, only heard, but Metra sounded like she does when Macho arrives with food. I run to the computer, but I was too late, and I only saw Metra standing in the nest. She was calling a while afterwards. Maybe someone else saw what happened

17:23 - A bird appeared on the branch, I think it´s a male, Oriole I was not the only one, Metra saw it too

Must be the same oriole that is singing now:)

17:32 - A stretch on legs and egg check..

17:44 - Sleepy..

20:13 - The evening sun is shining in the nest..

21:19 Empty nest
21:22 Metra came back with a fresh maple branch

Thanks to everyone for watching and sharing pictures and observations.. I think we slowly have reached the "hot" phase. As we don't know when the egg was laid and if it is really fertile, we will need a lot of patience here! I just can keep my fingers crossed and hope that we won't see a repetition of Whitsunday morning in 2011 here! That would be sad! Good luck and all the best to Mētra and Mačo!

stands up and leaves





at 19:43 she returns with greenery

Good evening:)

13:02 - Macho was in the nest (Latvian forum)

Metra has a green branch in its beak

Liz01 Metra has had maple leaf in her beak several times lately, and many logical explanations have been proposed, as self treatment, good health, digestion, anti- septic effects, cleaning the nest to get rid of bugs and parasites - like they also use the spruce twig for. Maybe it´s a way to get fluid when she has not eaten for some time too? It´s the first time I have seen her do this.

21:06 - Now Metra is sleeping


I think I read in the Latvian forum that hatching time (if it´s ok) for the egg will be around 10. June, is it correct?

Metra is Fieldfares don't.
