Gorgeous day for a visit.
12:23:02 - Helju, and Kalju pass over the eyrie, alighting in a couple of tree tops just beyond the rightmost pointed conifer.
12:39:15 - Kalju leaves his perch, dropping right. Helju remains.
12:41:07 - Kalju alights from the left onto the three pronged branch, then to nest.
He tests out the nest bowl.
12:54:24 - Helju drops down to a lower limb at her distant perch. She can be observed collecting nesting material.
12:55:00 - Kalju leaves, dropping down below the far canopy from the curved branch.
12:56:22 - Helju launches from the far tree towards the eyrie, arriving in 6 seconds with a conifer spray in her beak.
Kalju returns with a stick of his own.
Mirror preening. :>

Helju scrapes out the nest bowl, continues nestorations, and follows suit in testing it out for herself.
13:42:28 - Kalju leaves from the three pronged branch to the right.
Five minutes later he returns with another stick, this one clutched tightly in his right talons.

Kalju makes another round of adjustments.
Helju assesses. A great grey shrike (Lanius excubitor) can be heard alarming throughout.
13:49:36 - The shrike flashes by the top right corner.

"We can't stop here, this is shrike country!"
13:57:17 - Helju watches Kalju leap to the pronged branch with the sharpest point of her vision. ;>>
14:33:35 - Helju leaves towards the bog, arcing right.
15:20:03 - Kalju leaves towards the bog, spiraling up, and away. Farewell all you fine feathered friends.

Didn't want to mess up the three image rule with the sets I'd prepared. Here is their initial entrance, for those who missed it.
12:23:02 - Kalju on left; Helju, right.

Greetings ellie, and Hellem. :>
You're both very welcome. It is wonderful to see this pair again. And ellie, what a delightful first .gif you've created!
I completely missed the wind carrying Helju's molted scapular feather to Kalju. And it sticks, ha! Love it.

Thank you for documenting another visit, ellie. <3
Kalju apparently found his mate's behavior of leaping too close whilst he was still mid-preen, rather insolent, eh? :>

Woodpecker visits:
Male Grey-headed Woodpecker:
Two Great Spotted Woodpecker youngsters exploring the nest and snapping insects:
There is a new hut of some kind out in the bog, wonder what that is? it's a restricted area this and wonder if it's legal?:
