the swans were nearby and called almost all the time.
10:21:19 Voldis yawned.


10:30:25 two swans flew high in sky from left to right.

[ame]

10:34 Voldis got up and shook his feathers. then he rolled the eggs.

[ame]

10:49 Voldis called.
i have no idea why he called.

[ame]

11:11 a lot of swan's calls...
11:12:04 two swans flew by. they didn't call when they flew by.


11:14:10 a bird flew by and over the meadow. a wood pigeon.
11:15 Voldis rolled the eggs. two more birds flew by the top to the left. they looked rather big with long wings. these could have been swans.

[ame]

11:19:50 two swans flew away from the lake to the right. ... then they flew by probably behind our backs. Voldis saw them.

[ame]

Voldis was looking in the back with tall neck...
11:48 Milda flew in with a green twig.
Voldis flew out.
Milda reorganized sticks...
did he call? yes. he was far and "on the wrong side of the microphone".
Milda rolled the eggs.

[ame]

12:22:12 two swans flew a loop above the lake from left to right and back to the left. then at least one swan flew by from left to right. probably they both flew by but the other behind us. there was so much calling.

[ame]

12:27 Milda got up, shook her feathers and rolled the eggs.

[ame]

13:25 Milda got up and shook her feathers. then she walked to the side and made some eagle yoga. then she rolled the eggs.

[ame]

14:25 she flew out. then Voldis flew in. he rolled the eggs.

[ame]

14:37 Voldis rolled the eggs.

[ame]

14:56:04 a big bird flew from the right high in the sky and by the nest tree rather close.
žubīte ST noticed this bird. thank you žubīte ST!

the bird had long legs and a long neck, so i think it was a crane. swans have long necks but not long legs and herons have long legs but the neck is folded in flight so they don't seem to have a long neck in flight. both white and black storks would have clear black and white areas under the wings.

[ame]

15:58 Voldis rolled the eggs.

[ame]

16:04:55 one swan flew away from the lake to the right. soon another swan followed.
16:05:35 two swans flew from right to left over the meadow.


16:08:02 a third (?) swan flew away from the lake. this flew to the left.
did one of the first two return or were there really three? i can't say. Voldis was looking at something quite different than the swan.

[ame]

16:17 Voldis called. i couldn't why he called. he was still looking at something.
