Both owls were flying towards the nest, but only Lotte stopped on the ledge.

17:40
It sounds like Lotte and Leo were again close to each other not far from the traditional nest place before Lotte came in.
Lotte had again this little twig for some moments





And *woushhhh* - take off! There was a little more conversation after Lotte had taken off, but further away

[Mamicja]

Very poor view, neither Lotte nor Leo's voice. Who it was?

18:23
Lotte appears on traditional nestplace, scratching the nest bowl



She finds something old, an ancient pellet or some bone?


Listening to the sounds after she took off, I think she met Leo on the lower nestplace, I don´t know whether they mated (didn´t hear this typical squeaking), but I suppose that she got at least some food gift from Leo. He was caught by the cam operator short before he took off.


Maybe he wants to lure her to the lower nest place

Thank you, Ferenz

Very nice visitors, but a bit too much "traffic" at the traditional nest place for my taste

[Mamicja]

Today in the morning

[romy]

Mamicja, this eagle owl was also here yesterday evening, see video 41 in diary. This evening it seemed like two females could be heard, Lotte and another one. Competition? Where's Leo?

Good evening

I see that all events are already covered by now, but I´ll post my two cents anyway today

18:15
Lotte arrives at traditional nest place - she came from somewhere high up left side





Digging and scratching

[Bea]

18:46
Leo delivers a mouse for his Lotte

He announced it already quite long before he delivered it .... I think it was a bit much ballyhoo for such a small mouse
But Lotte seemed to be very pleased about it though

19:15
Lotte had a little "fight" with a thorny twig that she didn´t want to have in the nest bowl


She began to preen her feathers. Sometimes she makes funny faces while preening

19:32
Lotte leaves traditional nest place
She got up at 19:24 and observed the valley very attentive until she took off
