Sigge, thanks for the links.

April 7

Thanks for the links sigge.
@Biker, in the beginning I hear a Porzana porzana? ( spotted crake )

I think you are right. This is the earliest observation in Estonia ever. Earliest observation so far was 10th April, so very special.

thanks for confirmation, aureus.
i changed title of the clip above.
thanks Fleur for pointing it out.

22:06 wow, an Owl lands on the pole

[Hellem]

Fleur , i saw it too, is it an Eagle Owl?

22:12 The owl flew away to the right, 22:13 a bittern is booming

[Fleur]

I don't know Hellem, maybe it is the Tawny Owl that I think Biker? heard last week

[Hellem]

I think it was an Eagle owl, at one moment he watched the camera and I saw his typical face and ears (Bubo Bubo)

[Fleur]

Long eared Owl is also possible

But I think you are right . Bubo bubo



22:12 away


with ring? not sure

[sigge]

Wow , yeah Bubo bubo

Also Rallus aquaticus -Water rail hammering kyp-kyp-kyp-kyp, just like this recording:

[aureus]

22:30 howling in the distance

During passing of Gdansk-Helsinki airplane. In the last second a Porzana porzana can be heard again.

Next potential airplane to which the Jackals might respond: flight BT357 Riga-Tampere at around 23.50 Estonian time (dependant on exact course).

[Fleur]

Ok, but...I hope to sleep on that time
