10.36 G22 returns to the nest. Long greeting with Grafs. No, I think they are still alarming the intruder.
10.40 Grafs flies out and a moment later returns. Both greet eachother long again.
Grafs looks up to the sky and G22 sits down to the nest...she demonstrates that she is the owner now.

10.41 Grafs flies out again and returns a minute later.
10.44 Again, Grafs out and in again. Followed by a long greeting.
10.45 Same thing again.
10.46 Grafs out, returns a minute later.

Both are still calling
Image

10.49 Grafs leaves.
10.50 G22 follows.

This is all very interesting, but a little too much for me to document in detail. The chicks in Karula arrive in a few days...
