- 18:42:06 Kerli returned

Despite the strong wind and her leg injury, she managed to land safely. It is a huge relief for all of us.

continuation:
- mating, leg seems better

- Kerli is rearranging the nest bowl ... and she's testing it
- is there the time for the fist egg? (or is she only relaxing?)

Kerli's return and a few matings
So happy to see her back!

One viewer noted that today is the 7th day since Kerli's return and expects an egg soon, mentioning that she was already "preparing the nest bowl" yesterday. Other viewers suggest it might still be a bit early, predicting the first egg will likely arrive tomorrow or the day after. (Kerli arrived back on April 20th.)

2025: 4 eggs, 1st egg laid night 20/21 Apr (7 days after female's arrival)

@helgipall8650
​​Kergu muutub iga kord põlvili kui Kerli saabub ja lauluga tervitus ka veel
Kergu consistently greets Kerli by dropping to his knees and "singing" whenever she arrives at the nest.
