Serene at this moment ;)
First FISH - it looked as tho Aila had gone chasing him for it some minutes before he brought it to the nest:
A lovely feather display from Aila - I wasn't sure if it was deliberate or not:
Another twiggy stick:
The arrival of the next stick was buffered out, but Louis had just done some sorting when Aila gave him this look and off he flew:
No fish yet, tho - another stick, with which Louis disturbed Aila - it didn't get her up, off he flew:
The next stick, a really awful one, didn't show up very well but thankfully went over the side in the end:
Second FISH - impossible to get a good shot:
It's under his foot here, and an excuse to post the wings ;)
Aila returned with bark in her left foot:
Louis brought small stick and dumped it on Aila but she wouldn't leave so off he flew:
Then another one was piled onto Aila but it got shifted - these sticks either blur on the way in or they're camouflaged on the nest, dang!
That was Louis's last appearance up to now - how busy he has been!
All quiet on the nest.
According to me, scrolling thru quite fast and allowing for buffers, it's been an undisturbed night for Aila.
Ooh! Nightcam (but I'm not going to start recording it):
Our morphing night flyer:
Rain, it only showed up when she changed position so don't know how long it had been going on:
Aila's routine refresher flight:
Mist drifting left to right:
Here's Louis to take over from Aila, who's just flown:
A trip?
Aila with bark, she flew off again after Louis didn't get up:
Next, her almost-fave nest sanitisers:
This time she made a nuisance of herself so Louis would get up:
Accidentally on purpose tripped over him, moving a stick:
It worked and off he flew:
He returned with a small licheny stick (not snappable) and proceeded to plonk things onto Aila but she wouldn't get up so he flew:
We now have Aila preening in the rain - or maybe it's not raining now :-/
Louis brought a good cot-rail!
Aila let Louis take over:
Aila brought something small in her right 'fist':
Put some bits onto Louis's tail and sorted some bits, no response:
So she flew:
Back with another piece of bark! She shifted some sticks and flew again:
Next - a big piece of bark:
And a big stick did the trick:
Let's hope there'll be a settled period now (apart from fish delivery!), cos I'm off and don't want a lot to catch up on later ;)
A fine whole fish for Aila - but she's slow to leave with it... gone now.
EDIT - A slim one.
How Aila got on the perch - she saw someone I couldn't see:
