Polly and everybody
Polly, thank you for the pictures and video, they are so cute together
So, Alla laid her egg secretly on the night of March 27/28 and we don't know the exact time
10:55 Alla stands up, stretches, goes to the nest rim, 11:08 preens, 11:18 covers the egg
11:51 Alla flies away
11:52 Ruudi lands, 11:55 flies away ... and is quickly back with a nice spruce branch , 11:58 flies away
12:10 Alla is back with a piece of bark
12:19 Ruudi with a green pine branch, small talk and Ruudi leaves
12:38 Alla covers the egg

That's how it looks.So, Alla laid her egg secretly on the night of March 27/28 and we don't know the exact time
But also nice that Alla was without visitors during this time.

Hello Polly - Hellem and everyone.
Thanks for your documentation.
Congratulations to the couple, it is going very well after the enormous work they have done. Ruudi is a nest building machine. I have observed that the couple get along very well with each other.
May everything continue well although there have been jobs nearby but not like last year.
Greetings

A whole photo book would not be enough for this time - Alla can make a thousand facial expressions.15:12 ... is still standing on the nest rim...
Is it possible that Alla regulated her body temperature?
Their posture and position of the feathers were special.
Hellem, Emiliano ...thank you both!!!

Well, she's a little off balance and her limbs are probably stiff. No wonder ...

I remember last season's crime thriller. It wasn't just our female hawks H21 and Alla who sometimes stayed under snow during periods of frost. It also affected other broods. Just like every year with birds that start breeding early.(the egg isn't covered since 13:00 )
But they have great management and regulate everything so perfectly that - like here and despite the eggs often lying uncovered in severe frost for hours, all the eggs ended up becoming chicks.
They're so much smarter than us.

07:14 Alla gets up, loosens the nest floor and then stands on the edge of the nest.
She loosens her feathers. She loses fluff...
Alla swallows a feather.
'25 She goes back on the egg and covers it.

10:19 am Alla leaves the nest again. Seems she was lured or noticed something.
10:50 Ruudi takes over and brings a branch with him.
Put him in the nest bowl, stand by the egg...on the edge of the nest and out in '52.
11:05 - 11 Ruudi again with bark
He does a little nest work and then stands by the egg. And waiting for Alla?

Almost cheesy but the nest really has an atmospheric location.18:57 Ruudi with a bark
Somehow both partners know when the eggs need to be chilled or kept at temperature.
A very explicit vote or everyone decides for themselves? (They test with their feet by touching the egg.)

I don't want to doubt, but is it possible that Alla is already continuing to lay her eggs?
