no cam, but I found the words :laugh:

Saaremaa Waltz

There's a Sunday afternoon with fragrant birches,
when these hit the glowing face,
Sunday and will let you to believe my soul,
good luck to fall into the distance but disappear.

Oh, play it cool, but fly, flaxen-hired-girl,
with the sight of so many rogue sparks strikes!
Not found anywhere in the world, although such
Saaremaa as a meadow on the night of June.

We need just such a feast in the meadow,
Dawn in the Twilight lends a hand.
Thoughts and actions are all sidund
This product and rõõmudeküllane day.

Oh, twirl, the noise of cooing clever story,
Gold star war the young man you are.
We have both white and wearing the night soon,
the flaxen-hired-girl can not catch you.

We have both white and wearing the night soon,
the flaxen-hired-girl can not catch you.

Friday, September 14

6:54 Cam is up, the sea is very rough and the wind makes it impossible to have the sound on.

I have seen a few gulls speed past, but no seals or swans.

And on my computer with vlc I mostly have a choice between sound at 12% -- much too loud -- or off, sometimes I can get it down to about 2% which is not too bad, although it is a bit stressful long term. (ah there I turned my computer's sound way down -- much better)

Luckily the swans and such are pretty quiet anyhow, so turning the sound off won't ensure that you miss things.

I just saw something (a raptor?) with a golden tail flash past, but my recorder was not recording ... :bash:

YES! Thank you! :bow:

What bird was that?

Now, we need slow motion! I could not even stop the video to get a clear picture, except of the tail (Except maybe it was sunlight on the wings?)

Interesting observation. According to tail pattern it must be juvenile Golden eagle. However I'm not so big expert to say after this picture it completely surely
