Wild Boar Webcam 2 Discussion 2011

[alice44]

a duck
later when the first boar appeared the duck flew away with a high speed take off, too fast for the webcam

I think that is our first capture of a duck, maybe the first duck sighting at a pig feeding ground.

of which bird is this sound, who knows

[alice44]

Fleur do you have a video posted -- with the sound you are asking about?

(yes now I see a video -- sometimes pictures and videos seem to be slow showing up for me.)


Edit -- I do not know but I bet ame will. I do not think I have ever heard it live. It seems like a bigger bird. I wonder if it could be some sort of game bird or something like a Ptarmigan. I listened to some -- from North American site so only our birds but they were not all that close.

(I think the fox on our seal island caught a ptarmigan or something like that -- a winter white bird -- so I think they must exist in Estonia.)

I am trying to catch a bird....on a picture......close to the cam

hm...

[alice44]

There was all that terrible noise and then all those birds -- I wonder if a the whole flock of them lands on the camera or the mic?

So far you are getting pretty pictures and we can see the yellow. I tried at the other forest cam and then gave up.

[Fleur]

tomtit, great tit ?
a black stripe on the belly, I think....

( certainly no yellowhammers, which are left to the south )

[Fleur]

almost certainly Siskin

Happy New Year!!!
What a great surprise for me to see that this cam is open, too. I was on the way the last time and had no time to read and search all writing and pics here. And now this How can a year better start?
Thank you to all who make it possible.
We will meet very often in the next time - how wonderful.
Greetings and all the best wishes from

EDIT: i later noticed that venegor had already answered this question...
it's a bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhyla). that was a very nice voice sample. it was the male starting the spring song...

here's the female in the background:


alice the bullfinch is not a very big bird, it just happened to sit quite close to the microphone. they are about 16 cm, i.e. about 6 to 7 inches long.

no but they are yellowhammers! they do stay over winter even here in Finland and they just the kind of birds you'll find eating grain in the field in a big flock. i think siskins are more like forest birds and they don't gather in so big flocks as yellowammers do. - of course there may be siskins among them, too, like there are tits as well.
and there is a male great tit in the middle with his wide black tie.

you've captured even their yellow colour in your pictures and other details, too, in the picture below here:
