Whether these are the same birds that nested here last year still needs some research.

19.35 female arrived, nice greetings ritual (I like it)
female is working with moss, male stand up
19.36 (very) short dancing - no mating (maybe second time today)
19.46 mating (most probably not successfully)
maybe because she coughs and/or sneezes (every day, but now not in the good time )
edit:
night resting side by side (22:55:55)
