[Liz01]

10:09 and she's preening herself again.. preening .. sitting... preening
10:11 working in the nest bowl.. digging and she changed her position


10:13 up, digging and turns with face to the left
10:13 she turns again now it's getting hectic again


she is looking for a good position
10:14 is scratching in the box

[Liz01]

10:16 she turns .. now with face to the wooden wall
and she turns...


10:18


She stands up.. no egg .. turns
as long as she works like this, she will not lay an egg

[Liz01]

10:31 she is working with that disturbing twig
she tries to cut it

[Liz01]

10:33 Male is on the nest tree. It sounds like that. He was hooting pretty loud
10:36 a crow is calling loud
10:42 still no sign that she will lay an egg
10:45 male is hooting
10:46 she starts preening herself
10:55 male says huuu
10:56 he is hooting

10:57 she breathes visibly
11:02 she moves ...
11:16 she is sleeping

[Liz01]

11:19 male is hooting
11:21 she starts preening herself
this is something for people with a lot of patience

still 11:21 that was a lot of action

[Liz01]

11:22 she lifts her tail a bit .. that was it .. is sleeping now.


11:24 male is asking... whether there is already an egg to see. be patient male! We all are
she must be pretty dirty.. preening

[Liz01]

11:30 wiggle wiggle and nothing
11:30:57 a bird is running on the tree behind
11:36 he is hooting and she is pressing? but not of behavior because she lays an egg
he is still hooting

she looks above and it looks like she is pressing .. male is hooting all time

[Liz01]

11:42 a crow is calling near


not sure if she laid the egg or it's about the crow. I think it is about the crow.. she is making her big

the crow is still there

[Liz01]

11:47 I wish the crow would go away. how should you judge something when a crow is annoying?


12:00 she is looking to the right .. and starts preening

[Liz01]

12:02 something is going on?


12:03 she turns again.. the twig male is hooting

12:04 she stands up , is scratching

[Liz01]

12:06 now she is cutting twigs in the box on the left
male is still hooting every now and then
she turns to the right

she turns again , is digging in the bowl
12:07 stands up ans turns.. and again she keeps turning
apparently there are many disturbing branches around them and in the bowl

[Liz01]

what is she doing now?




12:26 she is still standing in the nest .. closed eyes.. open eyes. only she knows why she is doing it
something behind her catches her attention
12:29 back to relax

[Liz01]

12:52 crows are around .. pretty loud
12:55 it starts raining
13:08 crows are still calling .. female is now sitting in the nest bowl.
