Hi Polly! Thanks for the beautiful stories about our couple!
Not too much happens yet, but Vita is a patient breeder.

Deli!
Yes, the time until the chicks hatch is a bit calmer.
However, we have a very strong and idiosyncratic team here. They always prepare some action.

First egg was laid on April 24th. Incubation period normally will take 34-41 days. So we have to wait for eight to ten days to see first hatching.

5:32 Teo brought an halfeaten fish. But Vita flew an extensive round first.
So Teo took some more bites.
5:35 Vita came back and got the fish.
5:51 She is back and takes over. No chance, Teo.

13:31 Teo brings a branch to decorate Vita and their home. She's not amused and takes flight.
Now we have a special view on the scenery.
But Teo is not satisfied. Summarily he shortened the branch with his beak.

14:46 Teo brings nest material but Vita is chirping for fish.
14:50 Teo is in pause mode so Vita goes fishing herself. He takes over the eggs.

Deli, you will receive a huge thank you from me for your efforts in the past few days.
It is reassuring to read your posts after work ... reassuring that you let this nest live here. And reassuring that everything is as usual.
But...
Maybe and hopefully the chicks will have more passion for communication from other observers.
