- NATALIO (male) flew in at 12.09.03 singing/greetings his nest
- ​​it seems more someone unwanted is nearby

- 12.10.47 he is yawning/moving the food deeper
- N. is resting, observing the surrounding (it is windy)
- 12.20 short preening followed

the sun is shining, but the first raindrops are visible


- 12.23.37 N. is calling again, fanned tail feathers - who is nearby? (unwanted conspecific?)
- 12.24.09 N settled down and at 12.24.33 up again (still singing)



- 12.24.41 female ZICA arrived to the nest too
- nice greetings ritual, at 12.24.53 N. settled down
- Zica is preening herself

[marika.solo]
