Rome: most of the time gone














The Rome juveniles are gone for the most part of the day. They seldom return to teh mestsite and are mostly simewhere behind the nest. I think there is kind of a square, wher ethey banded them as well a few weeks ago.

Vento returns to the mest often and even scraped some bowls. I was to late to start the video, so now clip of that I'm afraid. This is normal behaviour. All couples display bonding behaviour after the chicks heave left the nest. Head-bow-low, eechupping,scrapeing bowls and even copulations. All are a form of bonding.

So no start of another nest but conformation of the livelong bond they have together!
