There is still sound but not much. This means that the volume is very low. And there are not much birds around anymore.

July 15

The camera runs quietly continue, Blueberries are dried in the fall, frozen in the spring for the Capercaillie







I look forward to seeing you again

[Hagnat]

Without sound the cam is useless to me because I can't stare at the screen all day.

[UteL.]

do not be so impatient

do not be so impatient

It has nothing to do with being impatient, but with efficiency. With good sound I can follow a cam while doing something else and switch to have a look when I hear something of interest.

Of course, but we have to be patient ...

I used 'worthless'.
Look at the bird list. https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 72#p570872
Only eight species seen, including Capercaillie, and 46 species only heard. After the capercaillies left the scene halfway May, there was already almost nothing to see, and since the sound is gone the chance to see something is almost zero.
Juta wrote on June 14 that the cam soon would be taken down and I am surprised that it is still running, even in this sorry state.

[UteL.]

Well, the contract is probably running anyway and nobody has time to change the battery for the Micro.
Patience, please ... you do that wonderfully, thank you very much!

and maybe a new system will come soon...

Will the Capercaillie Cam return next spring?

[Hagnat]

Will the Capercaillie Cam return next spring?

Well, it cannot return without leaving first
But yes, I understood that the cam will be back in spring in a preferably more stable configuration and perhaps at a different location.

And selfie!



Thank you, Urmas!

[andrasiboti]

Thank you for all who made this possible, and the viewers, for great highlights and memories!

Hello
So will this Cam return this year?

[Fleur]

I hope so too

[Felis silvestris]

Yes, there will, but the topic for the camera will be somewhere else, as capercaillie is no bird of the year anymore. Be patient, it's coming!

The new camera season has started and we continue in a new forum: viewtopic.php?f=111&t=957
