In reply to Ryn. I totally see why you said that it's a red-tailed hawk, but I am not sure if they live in Europe. I would say it common buzzard! 🤔 Nice catch anyway 😊

Pretty Red-tailed hawk (I think) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/df89265f8b2169d4bf7dada9758b695f3f66e14de015f686a2084ecbfd8f4ceb.png

It was a long conversation between Isolde up on the wall and Tristan in the tree niche. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ad698905870856880d181e449b6df4c884a3512f97c96d1bae018556c4942b03.png
He then moved on to the 2024 nesting site…(“What do you say, Isolde, shall we choose this spot again?”) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c2e4dd2eee95cc99481264a61483fff0f3519832c5fefdd6a0944599b73b8bb5.png
…and a bit later on the scaffolding. Then he took off. Meanwhile, an intense exchange of ideas… The choice of nesting site for 2027 is still undecided. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8818cdb34848aa74d90d072d338adaba54e9375e480893d3410c62ea03097688.png

There they are, Isolde and Tristan (red circles). One is on the scaffolding, the other in the small, ivy-covered hole in the wall that Isolde had already inspected a few days ago.
The blue circle marks another hole in the wall that Tristan will go to and take a look at. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cdd03bbc8ab672046dcf4c71ca90bab1895d0d48195e83857dc1664659f10007.png
Tristan flew up to that hole and looked inside. What are those two thinking?! We need a good view of what's happening at the nesting site; those two holes are a no-go…and way too small, too! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bbb31eeecaa4319ce27e74db53e9bc563b42a678ccb206cc7c62fd84fb2600bd.png

New video...starring our couple and a rare guest Tristan, the lord of the castle, makes his grand entrance and calls out loudly. Isolde, however, only appears briefly in a window and then flies away. Later, she takes an interest in a hole in the wall, surrounded by ivy. Isolde, don’t choose this spot as a nesting site. We wouldn’t be able to see much. A little barn owl is resting in the window of Tristan’s tower room, with bats flying around it. It’s a good thing it flies away, because Isolde appears on the wall. The little owl wouldn’t stand a chance against her... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2lRT56hcVc
