Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2021

[ame]

9:21 a blue tit who was talking loud.
she collected a huge bunch of feathers. - there may have been even two tits but i saw only one at a time.

[ame]

11:18 a great tit flew to the top.


then a great tit visited the top branch. it was probably the same great tit.

The bird took off from the nest, but the video does not show how the bird arrived at the nest (11:18:06). She started singing at 11:17.

thanks Sonchik!
i made a longer video.
by the way: this was a male tit. males sing, not females. besides in the picture one can see that it is indeed a male with large black collar. females have narrow collars.

12:44:about 40 a dragonfly was posing quite in front of the camera.

14:35 a sound of landing?
yes, an eagle flew to the top. this wasn't one of our eagles. this was a youngster.


14:36 (almost exactly) someone flew away. only the sound of departure was heard.

[ame]

it seems that it has been a quiet late afternoon and early evening so far...

[Sonchik]

At 21:47, the songbird flew up.

At 21:47, the songbird flew up.

this was a blackbird. he was singing nearby. then he flew to the top and continued there.
i couldn't see when he flew away. maybe a tip of a wing was visible somewhere.

moonrise


moonlight


before dawn.

[ame]

7:10 - 7:15 summer rain.

after the rain it's a cloudy morning with almost no wind.

[ame]

8:07 Mr L flew home.


he arranged some sticks.

[ame]

8:10 he flew away. he used the right branch as his spring-board again.

[Susanne]

Yes: seems to be a very individual thing, this "hop-step-jump"-take-off style. Maybe we should call him Mr Bumpy?

[ame]

i hope that the DDF people will give him a proper name soon, but i don't believe they will, certainly not before the autumn. we should see him beginning to rebuild the nest seriously.

[ame]

raven's calls...
16:12:34 (about) a raven flew to the spruce on the right.
16:14:06 the raven flew away. kraa!


at last someone has solved the Potplayer problem!

JUNE 27th

Good Morning!

In the past, I always said that Milda is coming to see us on Sunday Will she come today?

[ame]

good morning!

another question is whether anyone will come for a visit. it has become so quiet... not around. there are hundreds of birds singing, but they don't come for visits. the blue tits and other birds who came to get feathers are incubating.

in the mornings not only birds sing. during the last week there has been a buzzing of some insects which has become louder and louder. the buzzing is there most of the time but it's best audible in the mornings and evenings. i suspect there's a wasp nest under the nest.
3:44 a blackbird was singing nearby with the wasps.


the waning Moon.
