[Biker]

i thought, it didn't work, but my PC and VLC did all like always, the fault sat in front of PC.
actually i wanted to record the Capercaillie.
So i found the clip of the early morning, with the Great Bittern, were there more than one booming males?

8 minutes with fog-horn concert of Great Bittern

Thank you for the videos Fleur and Biker, I like the bitterns "fog-horn" booming, it's something mystical among the sounds of other birds

[Fleur]

@ Biker. It could be. I think only the male are calling.?
Thank you Hellem.

Heh
Yeah at least 2 Bitterns.

Most probably a beaver swimming by too at 06:28:07-15, a big head and steady swimming

a little bit before
→→who calls at 1:25?

What do you think about Athene noctua, Little Owl or Kivikakk on this one? (not very familiar with them..)
Edit: calls didn't follow, please look above

[Biker]

Sigge!
i never heard the little owl live, so i'm unsure

- (ähm i've no idea) -

Edit you are right: 6:28:11 a beaver! i didn't saw him

[Fleur]

@ I also think it is not a Little Owl

21:18 Geese flying in . Comon Bitter call in the distance

[Fleur]

21:30 sound more Geese and Common snipe

[Fleur]

22:19 Cranes call


and I sometimes hear splashing in the water, but it is not visible

[Galina]

About 10 mins ago I saw something what might have been a beaver, but I am not sure. It was visible for a short time at the left side of the bushes.

@ I also think it is not a Little Owl

Ok, owl anyway
I checked the public sites and no Little Owl but one long ago was found in Estonia
(ofcourse all are not public..)

Good thing is the reporting system works again: http://vana.elurikkus.ut.ee/observation ... ge_sul_id=

Another one is: https://estonia.observation.org/map_lastobs_v2.php

I deleted my message. I had put it in the wrong topic
It was a movie from the sound from the Skylarke ( Charadriiformes camera 2018 )

I think you are right. This is the earliest observation in Estonia ever. Earliest observation so far was 10th April, so very special.

[Fleur]

That's a nice observation then
