the camera went to sleep at 17:02. before that, as it got darker and darker, mallards began to make more and more calls. i suppose they were going to 'sleep'. also some whooping swans called a little, and i think i keep hearing wigeon's voices, too. traffic noise carries over the forest rather loudly as there wasn't any wind and the tree have dropped their leaves. right in the end there's a sound of a siren of an ambulance or police car.
good night!

i have received some news via e-mail about the eagles' winter feeding camera from Urmas Sellis today. i'm so sorry to tell that they are not good news:
Urmas wrote:For eagles feeder cam we did not find suitable place, even searched in Latvia.
Difficult is to find the place with all needed attributes:
electric grid (220V);
peaceful area further of villages;
visible broadband internet fitted tower;
food (wild animals) from nearby;
somebody who is ready to supply the food;
outside of protected areas.
so if miracles will not happen in immediate future we shall not enjoy eagles' winter camera at least this winter.
what a dissappointment!
thank you Urmas and others for trying to find a new place. i know you tired your best.

Good evening, ame,
thanks, that you share so quickly the bad news with us.
@ Urmas and his team: thank you for your efforts, to find a new "eagles winter feeding place 2013/14".
You must take many criterias into account, I have read.
For all it is sad:
for the members of "Kotkaklubi"
for the members and guests of LK-Forum
special for ame, Mutikluti, Renno and...
I look forward to the season 2014/15.

Thanks to all (Urmas, Renno, Mutikluti and the rest of the team) for the hard work done to find a location for the winter cam.
We are all sad, but it is better to not have a cam than to have a cam in a place where it would not be safe and secure for the eagles.
My best to all,
Diane

Forgot to write one more aspect we need to pay attention - no dangerous electric poles should be around feeder. Eagles look for perch bases and could get electrocuted.
