three great tits were in the nest and one flew to the camera. then a fourth came into the nest.


it sounded like the tit on the top was trying to open the camera. it was pounding on the roof so hard. then it finally peeked in!


now there is still at least one in and around the nest.

Hallo to all.

13:22 It's windy.

Perhaps a ship's siren

[ame]

i have often heard here a siren that sounds like an ambulance or a fire engine or a police car. ( abit like in the Monty Python cartoons where an ambulance is driving up a hill down a hill up a hill down a hill ....

i think that Urmas once told that the main road to Haapsalu was not very far from here. and now that the leaves from the trees are gone the sounds travel rather far over and through the forest, further than in the 'leavy' time.

[Fleur]

...Maybe the weather also plays a role.
If it freezes, the sounds also behave differently

here's hoping
