thank you Liz!
this looks like yesterday again. fortunately it's not raining at the moment.
it rained and it was rather windy (and noisy) in the night.
2:21 Milda shook her feathers so that the sound stood out from the noise.
the rain stopped at about 4 am or somewhat earlier.
4:23 Milda shook her feathers. then she probably rolled the eggs, too.
4:24 again a feather shake.
5:42 Milda woke up and got up. she shook her wings twice.
5:43 she called and Voldis replied nearby in the forest.
Milda stretched her wings again. then she rolled the eggs (probably).
5:44 Voldis flew in. Milda called and then she got up.
she spread and shook her wings many times. Voldis went down to the eggs (they were shining in dark) and he probably rolled them.
Milda looked around with tall neck. she tried to see through the darkness...
5:46 she flew out.
wood pigeons began to sing.
7:40 the same thing as about half an hour earlier: Voldis seemed to see something or someone and he called, Milda replied and then Voldis called more. it sounded as if Milda was in the same place as earlier. her voice sounded similar.

8:02:41 Milda is calling ?? or a jay?
8:04:50 geese? are calling
Voldis seemed to be sleeping but he raised his head when this bird called. i don't think that it was Milda. it sounded more like a jay, but boy is she a very good imitator! she can draw the attention of even Voldis!
8:04 the birds who called were whooper swans.
9:04 Voldis got up and shook his feathers. then he rolled the eggs.
9:05 a great tit called very near.
9:05:45 he came up from under the nest on the right.
9:24 Voldis called. then he got up and took a little walk to the front of the nest and back. then he rolled the eggs.
one of them looks a little brownish while the other two are blueish white.
9:44 Milda flew home with a green twig. Voldis got up, shook his wings and flew out.
he called nearby. Milda replied. then Voldis called again.
9:45 Milda rolled the eggs: one, again, then the rest two, then all three.
her wings were still quite wet.
10:52 a lonely crane was calling... flew by.
10:53 Milda got up and preened. then she shook her feathers and then she rolled the eggs profoundly.
10:55 she shook her feathers again. then she covered the eggs.
11:22 Milda got up and shook her feathers. then she rolled the eggs.
11:25 Voldis brought hay. Milda talked softly...
she has become drier. at least her head is not so wet any more.
11:27 Voldis flew out.
Milda got up. her "dress" is still wet, and her wings. she shook them. then back to the eggs.
fortunately it's not raining at the moment.
