15:50:59 Milda called.
15:51 Voldis flew to the top branch. Milda called more. then she got up.
15:52 she flew out. Voldis jumped to the nest. he is dry.
he rolled the eggs.
15:52 flapity-flapity-flap! a wood pigeon flapped the wings and startled Voldis.
... no, it was not a wood pigeon taking off. it was a breaking branch or something like that somewhere.
i had the volume so low again that i didn't hear properly. the sound which i thought was a wood pigeon's wings whistling was a blackbird's alarm call.
