A drowsy quiet late afternoon into dusk, brooding, preen and resettle for the most part.
As before, no deliveries afternoon but a good food day so Anna well content.
20:00 Anna out back for "ablutions" and returns six minutes later with a broadleaf sprig.
Settles back in and as the gloom creeps in, Anna's head goes back (21:51) and she buries in for sleep.

9:30 Andris brings a frog
10:57 Anna calls, is beating with hear wings and leaves the nest
11:04 she comes home with a green twig.
I think the wing beating means : Andris, take care, I'm back soon. there was no threat.

well, food continues to be a morning only affair on this nest, unlike the nest of Laila and Uldis.
Chat shows that Anna flew away alarmed at 10:58 and confusion arose as to who took over duties. Seems that it was Anna back at 11.05 with a sprig and not Andris.
from 13:57 to 17:37, the afternoon was spent brooding, with short intervals of standing, preening and then resettling.
17:37 it seemed Anna would take a break, as she looked out over the rear of the nest for a while, before doing some eagle yoga and resettling.
21:08 Anna's head went into her back feathers and she settled down for the night, with minor preening and position shifting until the camera pixelated into darkness.

Well, well - actually something to report. An evening delivery of a vole!
16:12 to 19:57 long brood session, minor shifting, preening etc.
Then, Andris flies in with a handsomely sized vole, which Anna swallowed although she had to work at it. Andris steps in for an egg inspection and Anna is her usual disproving self - or so it seems, perhaps it is eagle thanks. Andris exits left and Anna resumes her position.
21:55 Anna exits from the back, returning at 22:03 with empty beak and talons.
A quick egg roll and she settles down as the gloom gathers.
22:32 her head finally swings over and burrows into her back feathers. A full crop, a summer evening, what more could an eagle ask for?

Just those two deliveries it seems but Anna is not going hungry by any means.
18:58 a seven minute excursion for amongst other things, a pine sprig returned to the nest.
Again away at 20:28, with more greenery returned to the nest.
By 22:12 Anna is dozing in dusk light and night steals the light with her sleeping still with head out.
