Maybe it's because they are close to the microphone ??

I think you are right Fleur, and that is why they sound more strange

[aita]

Thank you
from pontu video
Their voice is funny.

10:43 The mating attempt.

[Lussi05]

Their voice is funny

Their voice in the first video might actually be the strange voice I heard earlier today
Thank you, Aita

What an odd sound near the nest! I see it is the same odd sound everyone has been discussing.

[Lussi05]

sorry, not yet ready

[Felis silvestris]

What beautiful birds:

[Lussi05]

Good afternoon

I was just taking a quick look, and to my surprise the nest had a visitor..

16:58

So special and beautiful birds

[Felis silvestris]

And now who is who? Since the second one was eating the prey left in the nest, it could be the female, but I had the impression the first one is a bit bigger. In honey buzzard the sexual dimorphism is not as big as in other birds of prey, male reaches 94% of the female's size. But once we know, it should be easy to differ between them. And I love the intense eyes!

[Lussi05]

And I love the intense eyes!

Yes, I think it's the eyes that makes these birds very special:)

Edit: When I listen to the cam on my iPad, the sound is not strange. It's a pity it's more difficult to follow all the cams on it, and upload pictures:(

[Lussi05]

In norwegian they are called "vepsevåk" / veps = wasp hawk, I guess Honey Buzzard also is because of their special food. I hope they settle down here, it's so exciting!!

[Felis silvestris]

German name is the same, "Wespenbussard". Now the "first" one came back and showed the front side.



Now on the right balcony, preening

[Lussi05]

17:24 - Back in the nest





Have to go for a little while...

[Fleur]

beautiful.

[Felis silvestris]

I think mating was going on on the upper left corner. The little buzzards just made a lot of racket too. But I could see movement to some calls there.

[Felis silvestris]

I have added "them" also to the first page, but just to have them here once too:

Mr and Mrs European Honey Buzzard.

.

We just need to find out who is who ...

[Bea]

Left darker one looks a bit smaller .... the male?

[Felis silvestris]

This would be my guess too, but "it" was eating the prey left on the nest yesterday ... We will see soon, I suppose.
