10:39:48 a bird flew from left to the spruce on the right. it was probably a wood pigeon.
10:40:55 the bird flew away to the right.

13:05 Milda rolled the eggs.
13:07 again.


empty nest!
13:41:31 Milda flew suddenly away, as if she were fleeing.
she flew over the meadow and then high in the sky.


i didn't see or hear anything special.
i made a longer version of her departure, starting at 13:34. she was looking in the sky around her, but there is nothing unusual about it.
edit: there were human voices at 13:33. i can't say if the voices were coming from the forest nearby or from loudspeakers at the racing track. i think that both alternatives are possible. the volume of the voices was changing a lot and the wind changed.
Milda was rather calm for many minutes after the voices.

[ame]

13:44:41 a crash in the forest. .. then more rustling. footsteps? it could be any animal (including a two-legged animal = human)

13:56:41 a big bird flew very high in sky in the top left corner from left to right and then back to left.
