Looduskalender

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.

Oh, what sorry to hear. But what can not, can not. Thank you for your efforts, Urmas and others to a good place to look for .

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.

Hallo Jo UK,
yes, we must help the poor creatures.
I've read the petition and signed it immediately.

15:09 The calling of an eagle could be heard not far from the nest.



At 15:46 the eagle was calling again, but I was late to start recording. His sound was becaming quieter, so maybe he already flew away.

(Jo, I have already signed that petition on the 2nd Oct., and I advise my friends to sign it. Thanks!).

Some pictures of the day:
11:28 In the background on the left is the water to be seen.


11:51 Now is the water to be seen in the whole background!


15:41 Nice - sunrays reach the nest of Linda and Sulev.


15:42 ...more...
