Good morning Hellem, Polly Emi7 and all

Someone wrote in chat that a stranger was at the nest. Unfortunately, this message disappeared after I wrote something. I downloaded the stream and am currently making the video of all visitors starting at 6:11
The third visitor is said to be a stranger.

BTW: there was a mating 6:12

What I can say is that there were a few visits from Ruudi where he seemed very upset.
The last visit of Ruudi to my video, he brought a twig. Everything seems fine

6:11 Ruudi came in and is calling
6:12 Alla is calling outside - they mate


6:17 Alla


7:09 a stranger?

[Liz01]

the video - so you can see the behavior of the birds. I do think someone's acting like a stranger... But I'll leave the identification to you.

[Hellem]

Liz , thank you very much

Yes, the 7:09 visitor seems to be a stranger

[Emi7]

Hi Hellem, Liz, Polly , everyone.

Thanks for the notification.
It's not Alla or Ruudi.

Greetings

[Hellem]

16:23 - 16:26 Ruudi with a pine branch, he works
18:06 - 18:10 Alla with a branch
18:21 Alla lands and is digging the nest bowl , sits on the nest
19:15 Alla stands and chirps, 19:36 she lies down
19:40 She is still lying down on the nest , the weather is terrible, very windy
19:54 Alla is sleeping, whether she has laid an egg, I don't know
20:56 Alla stood up, 21:00 she lies down again

[Polly]

Good evening everyone!
Thanks Liz for 'capturing' our visitor. Yes, I think so too - a pretty female but not Alla. Great, thanks!!!

I've had a very busy day, sorry. I'm just trying to catch something at every corner.

Hellem, I'm running the stream slowly right now starting at 6:21pm.
Of course there are signs that Alla doesn't have long to lay her eggs. She became sluggish and on the other hand a bit overstimulated.
Still, I'm not going to fall for that again - she already did that last season.

Let's see what Alla is up to.

[Polly]

18:06 - 18:10 Alla with a branch

[Polly]

18:21 Alla lands and is digging the nest bowl , sits on the nest

[Polly]

I think Alla is preparing for childbirth - no egg for today.






I couldn't see any pushing with the wings either and the butt was too high up.
Feathers ruffled was not there or could not be seen. Difficult in the light but I'd say no egg.

It will be soon.

[Hellem]

Polly, thank you very much for your opinion and pictures

21:45 Alla stands up again
22:19 Alla is sleeping standing up
22:29 She lies down
00:30 Alla stands up, ruffles her feathers, preens

2:00 Alla is still standing and trying to sleep in this strong wind, ... the cam stopped

Hello everyone.

We are in the previous moments and it seems that this year something can be advanced. Alla has been appearing more in the nest for several days. Last season the first egg was laid on March 27.

In the morning the sounds began early:
5:55:40, 6:06:16, 6:10:47

Good night.

[Polly]

Good morning everyone!

March 14

2:00 Alla is still standing and trying to sleep in this strong wind, ... the cam stopped

The night was so bright again that Alla could be seen well.
She stayed in the nest practically all night, dozing, loosening her feathers and silently leaving the nest at 05:32/33.

[Polly]

06:35 - 37 Ruudi brings a stick.

[Polly]

06:51 - 53 Again Ruudi with a branch.
He fiddles a little, the wind lifts his petticoat...

Something interesting seems to be above him.

[Polly]

06:56/57 Alla with empty claws.
She arranges some branches and observes the area.

[Polly]

07:11 - 13 Ruudi slides into the nest like a paper airplane but you could see that he is carrying a pine branch.

He tinkers and sorts ...

[Polly]
