Hello from Finland!

It is so wonderful to start "bird watching" again , I have waited this so much.
Hope this year everything goes well and we can see mom, dad and the chicks all healthy fly south in the end of the season.

[ame]

hello pirkkokn and welcome to the new season!

16:39 Milda rolled the eggs.


17:14 a great tit sang near the nest.
Milda is looking in the meadow with long neck...


she has been doing that since about 15:23. there must be something (someone) interesting on the ground. an interesting bird would have flown by and away ages ago. (it's not necessarily a mammal. there can be a bird on the ground, too. )
i haven't been able to see what she is looking at.

[ame]

17:18 Milda got up. she began to preen...
17:19 Milda rolled the eggs.
17:20 she shook her feathers. then she lay down.


then she went on looking at the meadow and the sky above it...

[ame]

18:17 Milda was still looking around, very attentively...
she called softly ka-ka-ka several times... once in about a minute.
then she talked less frequently but she remained alert...
18:34 she relaxed and began to preen.
nothing much happened.

[ame]

18:39 Milda called and an eagle flew to the top. Voldis? it had to be he, but he didn't say anything. Milda talked a little.


then she got up and made eagle yoga. then she rolled the eggs.
18:42:24 Voldis flew away from the top.
18:44 Milda rolled the eggs again.


more later....

[ame]

18:58 Milda got up and rolled the eggs.


after this she relaxed and became sleepy.

[ame]

19:14 Milda preened... she got up and continued preening... then she rolled the eggs.
19:18 she rolled the eggs again.

[ame]

19:23 a tawny owl male and a female called in the forest.
(actually they started already a minute earlier but they were too far.)

[ame]

19:28 Milda put her head under wing.


soon it became too dark to see much anything but the deep blue sky.

March 22

good morning!

it was somewhat windy night so i didn't find anything interesting.
04:52 Mrs and Mr Tawny Owl called far.
(i made this clip partly to keep an example of what the wind sounded like in the night.)


Voldis seems to be in nest duty.

a few reservations....
