Hi mia!

I saw Koit and Eha towards the end of the food exchange. Eha made a high pitched sound that I've never heard before, after she was done. I could not tell if she was saying - that tasted bad; that tasted good or why are you wet?

Eha flew off at 4:15 am



She came back a minute later after making some ugly calls.



And here is why.



Jay kept buzzing Eha for a bit. Silly bird.


5:10 am Eha is sitting peacefully on the nest and every so often you can hear a Cuckoo.

Cam will not come up for me. Maybe better luck tomorrow. Tooni cam will not come up either.

All Looduskalender cams were down this morning... But now they are up and running again.
20.57 Eha is sleeping.

21.06 She is up.

21.07 She leaves.

21.07 The Jay is already there.

21.07 Eha returns.

21.08

The Jay is being extra pesky, isn't he?

3:56am Eha is up, the sun is up but no Koit yet.



6:22 am Eha was just sitting on eggs and preening but the Jay decided to flash by. However, he did not try to hit her back as her head was up and always facing towards him.



Eha has been napping or preening this morning. At 8:45 am she stood up once to stretch her legs and call for Koit but she went back down again because the Jay dive bombed her head.

9:30 am Eha waits patiently for Koit to come with some food. A cuckoo 'cuckoos' in the distance.

10:45 pm Eha goes to bed with no food. She had flown off earlier at 10 pm to stretch her wings and legs and came back and cries as she looked at the edge of the nest. At least the Jay stayed away. I am presuming that Koit is bringing her something during the day when I am sleeping.



Edit: I went to Looduskalender to see what's been going on. The Jay has been a pest in the morning. Koit brought Eha a vole, a frog and a bird in the afternoon. Koit even took a turn on the nest while Eha went off to eat the bird. She likes the smaller 'beak foods' so she should be satisfied.

Eha sleeping.




At 6:30 am Koit was on the eggs and Eha was calling off in the distance. Every so often I heard a harsh squawk - maybe the jay? Koit never responded and never looked alarmed.

6:36 am Eha came back. Eha then flew off again after a minute and Koit flew off as well. eha came back at 8:39 am with a stick and still vocalizing. She was still calling off and on past 7 am.
