I popped back on for a moment to post an article about flooding in USA & effects on ospreys. posted here (bottom of page): viewtopic.php?f=37&p=101554#p101554

Now I am off again!

Not yet, but soon. I think the cuckoo won't go so soon as well.

cougar wrote last night or today early morning:

so late?

I agree with cougar, a nice replacement of the wild boar webcam.

@ Kitty: I will read it later, I'm going to bed now
Good night everyone

good night Fleur!

tonight it seems the forest is virtually silent

Thus far, no night time forest animals have come around, at least not while I watched. The cuckoo just roused a moment ago & gave a few coo-koos, but now only the night insects make noise. I did see a ghostly sort of image earlier, floating by the cam & going in several directions by quick turns -- but I am pretty sure it was a moth or other night insect fluttering by. (Or maybe an elf, I really don't know!)

I go to Käsmu cam to break up the monotony, & the night sky there is gorgeous with colors. It seems by now that sunset sort of blends into sunrise in north reaches of Estonia.

1:56

I just heard a noise that was definitely motion but I did not see anything.

Already the sky is lighter than the forest.

Darn! I went to another forum for a minute, & had Youtube playing instead of the cam! Did you see anything at all, Alice?

The sky does seem to be brightening quickly.

Dogs have begun barking from afar, & the cuckoo started up again for a few minutes.

Edit, 2:35-- Yes, the cuckoo is definitely awake & back on his 2-second cycle.

Its that cuckoo again.

SOMETHING! Moving quickly at center behind the tree line. I THINK a beaer, but not sure. I am recording right now just in case I can get it, but I think I was too slow.

last night i see something behind the big tree. There was something mowing there now also

I did not get it in my video. Just the cuckoo. so i got rid of the video & will start over. Darn it! But you saw it, too, Heidu. I feel better knowing it was not just my eagerness letting me see things.

NOW I AM GETTING IT!! Behind the big pine tree at the right. Will post when I get the whole video. It IS a bear.

Edit, 3:06-- It is still there. But I am uploading video & can't record at the moment.

A bear lurks in the forest! (I should have waited to record-- much better view later as it went off cam to the left.) Video best viewed if you right-click & choose watch on Youtube.




These photos are not very good, the bear is blurry as it makes its way quickly to the left & off cam.

It came in and went out the same way as last night I`m so happy that some other see it too. I have taken some pictures,but can`t put them in here yet have too learn a bit first

It is not too difficult, Heidu. You need to either have an account to where you can upload the photos (as Photobucket or Flikr.com), or do as I do & use a site like ImageShack that does not require an account. This works OK if you don't care to have a site other than here where you share photos. With ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) you simply click the browse button to chose which photos to upload from your computer, then after that, click upload button & after they get uploaded, copy the "forum code" text & paste it into a posting here.

Have too try it tomorrow, it`s a bit late now(Norway one hour after Eesti time I´m having a great picture of it sitting behind the tree, looking like the head of a teddybear

I look forward to seeing your photo when yo get it posted, Heidu. Goodnight!

Now I have to log off for a while, too. I must make some supper for us.

For a while in the night I thought there was no mic (that it had died or been eaten) but now the cuckoo has been audible for hours and I did hear that movement -- the only thing I heard it got much lighter.


I saw nothing. So you guys were much luckier than I.

I saw a raven earlier and more recently sun glinting on a spider web.
