[Polly]

Looks like work has already been done on it. All the green is buried (certainly also frozen) ... looks pretty fresh.

We'll see more tomorrow.

Info by Maris:
​Sazvanīju Jāni Ķ., Viņš tuvākajās dienās brauks mainīt aizsargstikliņu, un pie reizespaskatīsies kas ar mikrafonu darams.
​I called Jāni Ķ., He will go to change the protective glass in the next few days, and he will see what can be done with the microphone.

Info by Amanda:
About the glass J.K.: The glass has been damaged by woodpeckers during the winter, I received a spare part on Friday, I will replace it in the next few days.

the video is cut to 10 minutes

Yes, Teo has a has a bright crest. Except for the mark in the eye.
I'm so glad it's not Teo... he's had so many unhappy summers. It's hard to bear.
I hope he's fine. Teo is so incredibly special.
Still got tears in my eyes from the emotion of thinking about Teo and it doesn't stop.. he's the only one who makes it every year.


Thank you Liz!!!

It looked to me much older than Teo and he has a kind of "bird" moving when he eats.

I hope he'll bring the lady with him this time; I hate to wait

12:45 There is a shadow of a big bird (osprey ?) on the nest.

13:20 It is still there;

@Abigyl



As every season, I can only recommend a look at the Latvian forum. This nest is really 'cared for' there in a very detailed and nice way.
