[Jenny]

It is Mati.
In intervals, he comes back to the nest, his eyes wandering in all directions, and after a short time he flies back into the woods in the direction of the white houses in the background.
08.25 AM Stop in the nest again, looking around, doing some nest work and cleaning his feathers, then he dissapears into the woods again. I'm happy that he comes now more often to the nest.

So happy to see Mati and LF on the nest.
But strange that he is still so submissive with LF, is the lady too dominant?

27 July. Good morning! 5:45. Mati flew into his nest. My heart jumped! I'm very glad to see him. Mati worked a little with sticks, then looked around and listened. 5:51. Mati flew into the forest.
Thank you all for the pictures of our Mati!

Another short visit from Mati. His look is always a little puzzled and constantly on search. His head goes right and left and after a short time he flies away.

18:14 Mati (?) on the nest. Did we ever get Mati´s ringing info? I think I saw M 63?? on the ring.

[Birdfriend]

18:22 Mati , finally I saw him.


He is back with a new grass. He stayed for some minutes.




He left, then comes again with this huge stick.

[Birdfriend]

Nice visitor, blackbird.

August 1 Good morning! Mati is here again. Clever Mati is nestling her nest! He looks great. It's interesting that Mati brought the seemingly seasonal soft material into the nest ... The big stick is impressive!

6:26. Mathi flew away.
