Good morning.
Good to be back online, after "Error 503. Server maintenance"
Webmaster contaced EEnet Customer Support but they did not work until this morning at 9 am. Nearly one hour ago.
Now we are here, as usual.

I agree, the number of bots has increased in recent months but we have not suffered an attack. Maybe it is just more advertising crawlers?

Advertising scanners are always there, but a year ago there were not so many bots. Even in very active forums I have not seen more than 5 advertising scanners at the same time.

9:59 they worked a little again after looking around...
10:03 Raimis flew out (i was wrong first.)

10:07 Raimis brought a stick.


about half a minute later Milda flew out to the right.
10:08 Raimis followed her.

btw: i have forgotten to thank especially for the zoom videos which Crissy, Liz and Sonchik are making. they are superb!
i'd like you to make more of them.
my own trials in this field are so amateurish and miserable that i'll stop making them.
(and i don't have time to try and learn more...)

Hello!
From yesterday. Who is calling? What do you think?
2019-12-30 18:01:40


Is it Bubo bubo? Unfortunately the wind is loud, the call is low.

i must be not only blind but also deaf...
all i can hear is wind.

i don't remember ever hearing an eagle owl (Bubo bubo) calling here.

i'll quote here one of my posts from yesterday because my question is about this situation.

then an eagle flew by from the right. another flew towards the first from the left.
the second looked rather dark, especially the tail didn't shine white. maybe that was the girl from this morning.


15:35:20 more calls.
15:35:35 a third eagle (with white tail) flew from the left and over the meadow after the two eagles who flew there first.

I found a few more cries of eagles. All screams from 13:06 to 15:56 in this video. So is Raimis 'visit and tracking flying eagles.

i saw later in your zoom video that after the 1st and the 2nd eagle a third eagle flew far on the left side to the left. it was partly seen against the sky and later against the forest. it seemed to have a white tail, or is that my hallucination?
(the 1st and 2nd eagles are shown in my picture above. they flew over the meadow and vanished there, meaning i that i lost them from my sight there)

then it took several seconds before the last eagle flew from the left and by the nest, over the meadow and to the forest. (this last eagle was actually the fourth eagle but yesterday i thought it was the 3rd.) the last eagle had clearly a white tail. it is possible that the 3rd and the 4th were the same individual because there was enough time for the 3rd eagle to fly around and return near the nest tree to make a new fly-by as number 4.

who might the 3rd eagle be? what do you think, Sonchik? yesterday i thought that the last eagle would be Raimis or Milda.

greetings from Jānis passed on to us by MĀRIS:

Ziņa no Jāņa Ķuzes.
Janvārī tiek plānota šīs tiešraides tehniskā apkope. Jāpapildina degvielas krājumi "hesiņā", jāpārtaisa saules paneļu statīvi, jānotīra paši paneļi, un pie reizes tiek plānots uzkāpt pie ligzdas lai notīrītu objektīva lēcu un sakārtotu mikrofonu.

GT'ed:
"Maintenance of this live broadcast is scheduled for January. The hessian refueling needs to be done, the solar panel racks need to be redone, the panels themselves cleaned, and it is planned to step up to the socket (= nest) at times to clean the lens of the lens (the objective of the camera?) and arrange the microphone."
the lens is in the translation twice. i inserted the probable meaning in the parenthesis. i have no idea what "the hessian" might be but i guess it's the methanol tank.

thank you!

it's getting dark. the wind is still hard.
the weather forecast promises rain for the night with brisk winds. the weather should clear up, however, before dawn and sunny weather is expected for the morning.
for the rest of the day and New Year's day no rain is expected.
it seems that the clouds may go away and give us a chance to see fireworks in the night of the New Year, should someone fire them.

That word is "power plant."
I asked in the chat to translate the text into Russian. Mega2 did it - thanks to her!
I'll try to translate it into English.
Maintenance is planned for January.
refill fuel for the local "power plant". To remake the tripods solar panels. The panels themselves need to be cleaned.
We need to go up to the nest, clean the lens, and strengthen the microphone.

When you look at the magnification, it's more interesting, isn't it?
I've been thinking about it, too. I think Raimis flew on the right, and yesterday's eaglet flew on the left. Then Raimis turned left and returned to the nest. Because he did what he wanted - the alien eaglet flew away.

December 31

Good Morning

A wonder I'm logged in!

8:57 Raimis flies from right to left and lands in the nest.
EDIT: Raimis came from the left- flew to the right and then in an arc to the left ? I'm not sure the eagles was Raimis? For me Raimis flew in a hurry from the right under the nest tree to the left?

He came in with empty hands


9:02 Raimis is looking upstair

9:34 Arrival of Milda. Her claws were empty too

13:19 It seems, the LK is working again
Thanks to those who made the LK available again.

10:13 Raimis flew away
10:16 nearly 10:17 Milda flew to the left

11:49:00 A greater spotted woodpecker female visit


11:52 she is back or was still around?

The female returned


10:52:18 a crosbill landed near the kingfisher logo
He flew to the right between the green branches


The woodpecker flew off

good heavens that was a long time off!
thank you for the reports Liz!

while i was waiting i made some pictures and videos from this morning, too.
8:56 an eagle flew high in the sky from the direction of the Fish Market to the right.


8:57 the eagle with white tail flew by the nest tree from right to left.

8:57 a few seconds later Raimis landed on the nest. he didn't seem to bring anything.


he worked a little and listened to ravens who called in the forest.

9.32 Raimis went to the top branch.
9:33 he turned around.
9:34 he came back down to the nest. then Milda flew in. she didn't seem to bring anything.
her empty landing gear were hanging down.


9:35 Raimis went back to the top branch.
9:38 he flew out.

the forum is still not too agile.
