Marika, I have been meaning to ask about the fare-well visits. Are there any special signs to recognize them?

short answer to good bye visit (usually males, rarely also females)
1/ long stay on the nest (also more hours)
2/ cleaning - ridding the nest of pellets and other dirt
3/ rearranging the branches, twiggs
4/ pooping in the nest
5/ thorough long preening
6/ long calm standing (some times also sitting)

this season, PL nests:
Madli, you know the video about the last visit of Bolek https://youtu.be/YBTnx8-_W3Q and there are vids about the last visit the two lonely males - Tytan https://youtu.be/kSVNHpo8F9k and Notek https://youtu.be/oU40wH1O54M
