Hello everybody :)

Early in the morning, Jan was very active and brought various material to the nest:
At 5.33 Jan leaves

and 7.37 brought a bunch of moss:
Image

He immediately flew away and at 7.49 brought another moss:
Image

he flew away again and returned at 7.53 and brought the branch:
Image

When he found a place for the branch, he flew away again and returned at 7.59 with a beak full of moss:

Janika modifies the material that Jan applied and Jan flies away again:

At 8.07 Jan returned with dry grass:

He adjusted his feathers and flew away at 8.15:

Hi Adriana! Thanks for posting. You are wonderful! ;)

There's nothing to worry about if Janika is missing for the night. She will return on the morning and the eggs are safe with our super dad Jan 😉!!

Good night.
