This morning two Tree pipits were singing. On often pretty close and one far away.
A Mistle Thrush is a regular visitor to the ground in front of the camera but with the low resolution it is not possible to get a good picture. I have posted a bad one earlier.

18:00 The cam is off.

The cam is not stopped. The connection is just extremely bad. After the rain there were during the day already many interruptions.

June 13

The cam is still not usable. One or two seconds running and then off again.
Of course the Capercaillies are long gone, but I still liked to listen to the soundscape. Perhaps I am the only one who likes a cam where 'nothing' is happening.

[UteL.]

I also look in here from time to time. But I have never had the luck a deer or similar. to see ...

Who is going to get the blueberries?

[Summi]

Perhaps I am the only one who likes a cam where 'nothing' is happening.

No, Hagnat, you are not the only one. With all this turmoil around, it's restful to listen to the sounds of the forest.

[Hagnat]

No, Hagnat, you are not the only one. With all this turmoil around, it's restful to listen to the sounds of the forest.

Not only the aesthetic value. To me a good and pleasing sound is essential. That way I can follow a cam while reading a book or something like that.

[UteL.]

we see actually the capercaillie in the autum? They will then share their territory again, right?

[Hagnat]

In the beginning of this afternoon the cam was completely off, but some hours later he worked without interruptions. Chaffinch and Tree pipit were still singing.

Utel, as far as I know the Capercaillies will be back in Spring.

[Fleur]

I'm curious if they coming back in the autumn

...especially in the evening it is nice and relaxing to listen

Good morning operator. What a surprise.

[juta]

Good morning! I just looked around a little bit.

[Hagnat]

This is a good position to park the camera, with a chance that we see some bird sitting on the branches.

[juta]

This camera will be taken down soon because it´s a crowdy place at berry time.

[Fleur]

Good morning

Ok, I will take a look till he goes down. Now and then
