I suppose the camera does not reach a wider view angle, a shame, as the birds like to sit on the right side ...

A Mating attempt!!!


It was the light hair one under and another over


Following Liz01 pic shows that the one over has a ring -
I wonder if it was a mating attempt or a struggle???
They did not give any sounds ...

[Liz01]

[Fleur]

wow, beautiful. Thank you for the picture Liz. My recorder frozen

[Bea]

So maybe this is a third bird now - on the picture one is wearing rings, and we spotted none with rings until now!

This is an enlarged cut from Liz01´pic:



Could it be a O85?

Or a C85?

[Fleur]

I just stole the picture from Liz, if you don't mind

083 ?



edit: ... with rings is the male then, without rings the female

[Janne+Ais]

or 085 ?

[Michi]

An Osprey with rings appeared.

[Fleur]

or 085 ?

oh yes that could be too

[Fleur]

it seems 083 on the second picture from Michi ?

[Bea]

We are all well-trained in trying to identify rings

It really looks like a O85!

[Bea]

This is cut and enlargement of Michis´ pic .... light conditions are difficult on every of the pics



At the moment we can call it 083 or 085 and hope for a better opportunity to get a pic!

[Fleur]

I'm glad one have a ring

[Michi]

Here is a picture-detail of the bigger original pic. But I fear, one can't see the ring-number better.



Edit: For me it looks like 083.

[Bea]

I'm glad one have a ring

This would be the best that could happen to us, for identifying the nest inhabitants

The camera-stop-and-go problem seems to have moved to this cam
