One male and one female Were feeding on a old Picea abies. Heard that these trees have a massive seed production the last season before they die. This tree was the only common spruce in that area offering seeds. The crossbills really enjoyed it;) This was the first time I saw this species. For me and two friends it was one of the highlights of that area. The Saxonian Suisse is one of the most interesting natural reserves in Germany.

Found on the ground on hiking trail. Looking a little beat up. We picked it up to get a better look and noticed some tail feathers missing on the one side. We held it a while as we continued our walk along the trail and gave it a little water. What we where not expecting was she was starting to lay an egg. The other pictures show it. The egg came out broken yoke first then the shell. Only minute after the ordeal she had enough strength and flew off. She was still bulging on the bottom and appeared to have more eggs to lay.
