18:00 F is on the nest, there is sun already, but it is very windy
(the branch with camera shakes and her sensible bill is hidden in her "chin")

(18.18 - the gust of wind)


18.20 F stand up, short preening in the wind, aerating, pooping, aerating, fluffing the moss and at 18.22 back incubating

the wind is really strong (in the camera view "the nest falls down" a little - often; we don't see the closer rim of the nest)


18.46 F stand up, short preening, aerating, fluffing them moss and at 18.47 back incubating
18.49 aerating and collecting the moss to the body (while sitting)
18.54 F noticed someone (stretched her neck) - the singing bird is to close maybe


... I will be seasick (swinging nest = the branch with camera is swinging)
