sound of cranes and crows arround, linda looks attentively

[ame]

i'm sorry IREN but i must be strict about the language...

it's still windy but it hasn't rained since morning. actually i think that the rain stopped some time before Sulev came...
Linda's head feathers are dry now and and blowing in the wind. she was looking around like Sulev earlier. something interesting..?

[Britta]

ame, have you reccord a video around 14:51 - 14:52 eagle cam time to hear the sound again?
i'm not sure wich birds are passing by there...

what a coincidence! i happened to have a short clip almost right at that time ready: Linda was turning eggs them. i think the birds who were passing then were just "normal" gulls. (but i can't say what gulls. the voices sounded larger than mew gulls... seagulls? )


just a few minutes ago there was a long flock of some geese passing... my camera (or internet) is jamming so that i got only a short sample of the voices. i hope it's long enough so that someone can say what geese these were. (they didn't sound like Barnacle's geese which flew by the seal island last autumn in a flock of hundreds...)


edit: maybe they were greylag geese (Anser anser)? for comparison listen here:

(it takes some time before the sound gets uploaded)

16:30 - Egg care..

16:31 - A little change of view..

[ame]

i took some snapshots of the video i got from the last change. it seems that Sulev brought a good nice bunch of hay with him when he came. he approached the nest against the wind but landing was still a bit tricky. he seemed to roll around his vertical axis...


... and landed sideways, but not like Linda in the previous change with back first.


a video in half-speed of the landing.

[Britta]

thanks for the video ame
gulls and geese , well i am new in bird-business, i have to learn a lot...

[Britta]

calling


Sulev leave (he was to fast for me ;-))


and Linda comes in:

Some bird is calling.

[Britta]

sleeping

[Felis silvestris]

20:37 Sulev brought a bedtime snack for Linda, a fish. Linda did some whistling and beeping before having the fish in one go.

[Manu]

20:36h Food delivery for Linda

[airras]

[ame]

i have a recording of the change at 19:02.
Sulev was about to take off at 19:02:06


Linda landed at 19:03:28

[ame]

Linda was already sleeping with her head tucked under the wing...


20:36 Sulev brought an unexpected evening snack to Linda in "bed".


she was delighted and swallowed the fish in one piece. first it looked like she was trying to swallow it sideways.

[ame]

the fish went down in one piece. glup!


then Sulev had a look at the eggs and Linda talked to Sulev...


a good-night kiss.

[ame]

Sulev took of at 20:38

Many thanks - very much helped, the good translator! Today grandsons didn't allow to look a forum and easily passed everything passed. Surprising birds, I look forward baby birds!
