Good Morning ame, Susanne and all

I'm a bit late
6:41 the camera woke up
7:20 it's still pitch dark

8:13 a raven is calling
8:32 a black woodpecker started calling
8:34 he is still calling
8:46:12 a bird is calling

ame you think is a jackdaw? I have many here and listen to them every day. It sounds like it, but is it? they travel in large groups

[ame]

good morning Liz and all!

the black woodpecker called for a really long time.
8:46 voices of a jackdaw.

Liz, i think that was a jackdaw. the voice is so familiar to me.
hearing jackdaws here is a bit strange because usually they gather in big flocks in the summer when the young jackdaws have grown up. then the flocks roam around in the fields and make a lot of noise. (at our summerhouse we have huge flocks of jackdaws and crows. in August the stimmung (atmosphere) is like Hitchcock's Birds sometimes. )
so single jackdaws (or pairs perhaps) in this forest is a bit unusual. maybe they are looking for potential nesting places? they build their nests in hollows and they lived in forests before there were church towers and chimneys.
in the end of this clip two jackdaws talk to each other in different places.

11:05 voices of wild boar.

[ame]

12:53 footsteps... then voices of wild boar.
footsteps continued...
12:55 more voices.
12:58:50 more.

[ame]

13:06 an animal, probably a wild boar walked on the right side from the right and stayed for a while... then the animal walked back to the right.

[ame]

16:24 -> footsteps. i couldn't see anyone.
16:34 onward a roe deer was barking in the forest, not near... it was getting dark.

[ame]

16:54 onward there began to be a machine sound, too, like an excavator or something like that working. there was clanging like metal hitting against rock. and footsteps.

17:05 footsteps...
17:07 voices of boar (?)
17:08 more.


even after this busy footsteps continued...
maybe this was the beginning of wild boar wedding?

[ame]

18:03:27 the camera went to sleep.

Good Morning everyone

ame, thank you very much for reporting and videos

EDIT: Inga wrote in the chat: 6.53 (6:53:28)
7:17:37 /7:18 a animal is making noises in the nest or on the ground? could it be oink oink?

[ame]

good morning everyone!

thank you Liz!
it has been a noisy morning. it sounded somewhat windy and the wind rustled branches and there were also sounds like dripping water. there was engine or car noise and perhaps a machine (excavator?). some noise had to be made by wild boar: footsteps and breaking sticks and some voices, too, like at 6:53.

[ame]

7:17 - 7:18 there were more wild boar voices. i


- i think that a lot of the noise this morning was made by the boar. now there's a constant humming in the background. that's probably traffic on the distant road. it's louder than normally. maybe the weather makes it louder, clouds on such height that noise travels well?

[ame]

8:25 an animal walked on the right side near the triplet of spruces.
that was probably a wild boar.

[ame]

10:44 sounds or voices. wild boar?


11:52:50 again footsteps (?)

it has become warm: snow is melting. i think it has also been raining.

[ame]

13:05:00 a raven flew to the top of the spruce on the right, and probably another to our top at the same time. two ravens are calling... are there two ravens on the spruce on the right? ...no.

13:07 rustling on our top. the raven probably turned.
13:07:04 the other raven flew from the spruce on the right to the nest. then both ravens away from our tree.


they flew by from left to right.
13:07:22 one landed on our top and the other flew to the spruce on the right 4 s later.
13:07:20 a raven to our top.
they keep calling...
13:08 a raven from the top to the top branch. the other raven flew by.
then both flew away. there were probably these two, no more, but these made a lot of noise.

[ame]

15:23 onward footsteps and sounds of breaking sticks...
then an animal walked by on the right side. if it was a boar he was big!


15:29 more boar voices...
15:29:11 one boar walked by.
15:29:33 another.
15:29:37 third piggie.
15:29:51 - 15:30:08 fourth piggie!
- i think these had to be wild boar. sows probably.


15:40 boar voices, roaring.
they found each other. "hello girls! how are you doing?"

[ame]

16:28 onward there were strange sounds or voices from far. it reminded me a little of raccoon dogs but it was monotonous, on a constant pitch and volume. the intensity and pitch it 'normal' raccoon dog's calls goes up and down all the time. i don't know what the noise was. maybe it was some machine far.
here's a sample.


16:51 - 16:54 there were breaks in the stream.

18:02 the camera went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
thank you for reporting
6:44 the camera woke up

[Liz01]

7:29 a deer? is barking from far
7:40:46 I hear fighting deer (not sure about the time )
7:43:00 again

7:43:40 a car light? on the left
7:45:17 still the deer battle

[ame]

good morning and thank you Liz!

7:28 - 7:29 the roe deer barked.


the deer (or elk) were battling till about 7:50. also the car light twinkled on the left. it's strange: it stayed in one place for a long time. i have seen it do that a few times earlier, too.

[ame]

at about 8 footsteps.
then at about 8:14 onward more. no-one visible.
8:19 some more banging of antlers. before that running footsteps.
