WEDNESDAY 27 MARCH.
good morning to all.
collecting material about crows
have if we are lucky and the eagles dare

[Fleur]

a Woodpecker visit on the right

[ame]

are crows bringing sticks or taking them away?
i think i've read somewhere that crows may sometimes build their nest in an old nest of bird of prey..

maybe we'll have a crow family here?

[Fleur]

I do not know Ame, I have not seen branches I believe.
I will look a bit as far as I can

[airras]

a carpenter pounding think this camera is going to break jiji

[airras]

I think they take them, last week I saw one take a hairball

[Fleur]

I looked back - they were pushing branches, not included I think
at 2:15 - Black Woodpecker call

[airras]

a carpenter, if you have the tree fall jiji





now heard the call to an eagle close

[ame]

i think that in Fleur's video some sort of courtship was going on. in the beginning the crow sang (the clucks and brr's) and the other was dancing: bowing and displaying spread tail etc. it might have been the male perhaps. the same bird took the twig and was waving it around while the other (female?) stod on a branch in the centre and was looking around the nest (taking measurements for curtains and rugs? )

it seems that it is well worth while keeping an eye on what will be happening here.
maybe the carpenter is making alterations in the nursery...?

Was out today until now and when checking the nestcam here I saw a large branch missing - then watched Fleurs´ video, but the Hooded Crows didn´t move it - then checked Latvian Forum and see what I found there .... on a Pontu Pic:

Eagle wears rings

the Woodpecker again, and he's stolen nesting material

[Bea]

Firlefanz, I saw it, too and when eagles don´t decide to nest here soon the nest will be gone

GS again ....

Treecreeper

and a crested tit

[ame]

the eagle with rings in the Pontu picture seems to be Latvian. the colours on the right ring seem to be blue over black. (black-black would be Swedish Baltic but i don't think it's that).
on the ring ring there's certainly red on top and i think it's blue on the lower band: 1994. the other combination would be red over black but i think that would be too old (1987) or far too young (2011).

[laranjeiras]

well - it's full moon tonight but, while the camera is running (you can hear it and see the date/time at the top), there is nothing showing up on screen (like the tawney owls split screen bit) - so that answers that! I wonder perhaps, if eagles did take it over, if we could hear them in the night and find out whether they get up and do stuff or not

[airras]

THURSDAY 28 MARCH.
good morning to all.
that we have here today ....

[airras]

Now is the carpenter ...

[airras]

again the carpenter's here, just a few seconds, I thought I heard a flock of cranes can be?

[Bea]

Good morning

There is a Pontu pic from 06:19
