18:40 Mr L flew away.

[ame]

18:49 Mr L returned! he flew to the outer left branch. he began preening.

- i could not see his tail properly well, but i have no reason to think that it was anyone else. the tail looked "good" enough for his tail.
i made a looong video of him preening on the branch.

[ame]

19:13 a jay visited Mr L.

[ame]

19:24 Mr L continued preening on the outer left branch and showed his tail rather well.

(please present good evidence if you think it was someone else)

[ame]

19:30:01 a jay flew to the top.


19:30:06 a black woodpecker flew by in sight for a change and called.


the jay called on the top and then on the right branch.

[ame]

19:39 Mr L flew away.

[ame]

20:19:00 a pygmy owl called. a few seconds later another owl called.
20:24:24 a tawny owl?

[ame]

20:30:about 30 a mallard flew by. ... or was it a grey heron??


20:49 a mallard called. this was a certain mallard.

[ame]

20:51 tawny owl's calls.
20:58:10 a tawny owl female called.

[ame]

there's nice moonlight over the forest but the Moon is out of our view, too high.
i didn't find more calls (and i didn't look for them very carefully).

23:25 some mute swans flew over.


it's enough for this evening. good night!

good morning!

the eagles are at home.

earlier:
3:22 a tawny owl female called in the forest.


4:56 someone walked in the forest breaking branches. no voice.

[ame]

5:57 - 5:58 a tawny owl female called in the forest. this time she was farther than on the earlier time.

[ame]

6:59 an eagle flew to the top. a wing was partly visible in the top right corner.


then a male voice called. a female voice replied from the forest. the male called more.


Mr L and Milda.

[ame]

7:12 Milda flew in from the direction of the swan pond. she brought a stick.


Mr L flew away from the top.

[ame]

a few seconds later Mr L landed on the nest.


Milda started nest work but Mr L jumped to the left branch.

7:14 Mr L jumped back down to the nest and back to the left branch.


he turned around many times on the branch. he didn't seem to be able to decide which way he wanted to be. - jays and woodpeckers were calling.
7:16 he returned to the nest.

[ame]

7:17 Milda went to the top branch.




a jay shrieked loud nearby. a black woodpecker called. Mr L dug the nest. then also the bird with the strange voice called.

[ame]

7:20 Milda preened on the top branch. she shook her feathers and a cloud of downy feathers flew away from her.
- the bird with the strange voice called many times. jays shrieked...

both eagles were looking at the forest around.

[ame]

7:21 both flew away over the meadow. first Milda took off, then Mr L followed her.

[ame]

7:22 a grey-headed woodpecker called nearby.


7:32 Mr L brought a big stick.




he worked a little...

[ame]

7:33 he jumped to the left branch.
