Thanks to Woodland Trust from whose livestream I took this clip. Check out their live camera supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery at [ Ссылка ] and on youtube: [ Ссылка ]

This clip starts with off-camera skydancing calls being heard on the nest cam mic. Skydancing is when a male performs for his mate, showing off his strength by swooping, gliding and diving, doing aerial acrobatics usually holding a fish or nest materials to show her what a good provider he is, while uttering these particular calls not used for anything else. It's Louis serenading Aila, and at 15.59 she arrives on the nest, fish calling, followed quickly at 16.00 by an excited Louis whoafter a bit of coy-mantling, presents her with the fish he's brought for her.

It's the early days of their reunion after returning from migration, he returned on 5th April and she returned on the 6th. This performance takes place on the 8th
