15:22:58 Natalio raises alarm
6:35 PM MarikaSolo​
​@UrszulaMN yes, it is reported in our forum
6:36 PM MarikaSolo​​
14.39 and next too
6:40 PM UrszulaMN​​
Yes, there is also bird's shadow 14:40:05
6:42 PM MarikaSolo​​
more times it is visible (there live griffons - maybe they are flying)
6:44 PM UrszulaMN​
​they are annoying daddy unnecessarily
6:46 PM MarikaSolo​
​ for BS is also one little squirrel in the forest bad enemy

later:
7:15 PM Maria Lewandowska​​
Natalio is more nervous - he is irritated by large birds flying by (vultures?), Zica is calmer
7:22 PM MarikaSolo​
​Maria, territory defense is the male's role and he couldn't fly away from the eggs - this was also evident the moment he saw Zica, he immediately flew away, he didn't wait for her at the nest

13.12.59 NATALIO leaves the eggs alone, exposed in the midday sun


Natalio is landing after 12'29'' absence (thx MariaL. for reporting on the youtube chat!)
Is he defending the territory? Who can be the "invisible" intruder?

1:36 PM Maria Lewandowska​​ Natalio is breathing heavily - tired from the chase
we hear his breathing and see the chest moving
