Somewhat slow food day, the above being the last delivery.

Anna took a break away from the nest at 15:02, being back five mins later. Again, she left atn15:53 and came back at 15:56. Some in the YT chat mentioned Andris, but I think it was Anna on nest, as Andris brooding without having delivered a large meal would be unusual.

Away again at 20:18 and back 8 mins later empty handed.

Anna ready to sleep early - 20:33 tried but quickly puts her head up and looks around, alert. Preening and by 20:53 her day is done, as she snuggles her head down in her back feathers. And there she stays as night gathers pace.

Slow afternoon again, food wise but food enough was delivered earlier.

17:39 Anna leaves nest and is heard calling in the forest. She returns 17:42 empty handed.

19:18 deep grooming / preening session:
Image

Anna then starts her sleep, waking and leaving nest at 21:17, to return 6 mins later with a large spruce sprig.

Back to sleep and then one last egg roll before returning to sleep as darkness gathers.
