6:27 a wood pigeon flew to the top of our tree. he began to sing there. another pigeon sang farther.
6:34 the pigeon started a pause. a woodpecker was calling nearby.
6:36 a woodpecker flew by. he continued calling...
6:39 the wood pigeon started to sing again.

[ame]

6:56 the wood pigeon was still on the top and sang.
6:56:59 a woodpecker flew to the top (or by the top).


6:57:19 the pigeon flew away first and a young great spotted woodpecker flew up!


he/she called...
7:00:06 the woodpecker flew away from the top and by the camera.


he/she called on and on...

[ame]

7:02 the juvenile landed on the nest!
he/she took a cone and went to the top branch. then he/she lost the cone somehow and went upstairs. he/she called....


7:03 the woodpecker flew away from the top. the calls went on...

[ame]

7:09 rustling... boeff! ...more voices. are there wild boar?
7:14 more wild boar voices.
7:22 more.

[ame]

the sky is covered with rather thick clouds. it sounds dripping like it had rained a lot but now it's not raining. there's no wind.

[ame]

8:41 two great spotted woodpeckers had a small argument, perhaps about whose tree this is.
one of them was a juvenile and the other an adult. the top of the head was black. i couldn't see the back of the head, so i can't say whether the other was a male or a female.


they had a fighting technique which was very similar to that of eagles, only smaller in size scale.
their screaming was less scary.


i made a slow-motion close-up clip of the fight. the sound is funny when the speed is 1/5 of normal speed.

[ame]

the birds have been warning about something in the forest for quite a long time.

11:23:50 someone flew to our tree. a juvenile great spotted woodpecker.
the woodpecker probably only flew by and didn't stay.


11:26 a young great spotted woodpecker visited.

[ame]

11:39 a wood pigeon flew to the top of the spruce on the right. he sang.
11:40 the wood pigeon flew by to the left.


wood pigeons kept singing farther. a woodpecker was calling all the time...

...
it seems that the new version of the P-player can also record for more than 6 hours without automatically stopping. yeah!

Not quite like that. After 6 hours of recording, the potplayer reopens the address. The result is a skip in the recording, since there is a lag of several minutes in the recording for 6 hours.

[ame]

hmh? for me the Potplayer stops and re-opens and then continues recording without anything going missing. re-opening takes a few seconds but all is there in the recordings. i have tried it twice now.
if it works differently in different places it is strange.

19:47 a woodpecker flew somewhere near. he/she called...
19:54 the woodpecker flew to a branch on the lower right.
19:57 the woodpecker flew to a branch on the left. more calls...

[ame]

20:00 a blue tit.


20:02 the juvenile great spotted woodpecker.

[ame]

20:17 boar voices?


23:22 grey herons called in the dark.

Aug 4

good morning!

there was strange engine noise in the middle of the night together with sounds like metal hitting rocks. it sounded like an excavator.
what a strange time to do such work.
i made a sample of the noise.

[ame]

4:32 a tawny owl female was calling.
4:39 a pygmy owl called. then some very soft voices near the microphone. there was some light already but i couldn't see anyone.

[ame]

4:49 a roe deer barked.
4:51 a pygmy owl whistled.

[ame]

5:01 a blackbird called nearby and then a pygmy owl called, too.

5:09 a roe deer barked in the forest.


i found these voices mostly by accident.
there may be something else, too.

[ame]

5:54 a squirrel visited.


he/she went to the top.


then he/shecame down to the basement. there he/she talked and rustled for a while before leaving.

[ame]

6:05 the squirrel returned.

[ame]

7:27 a little bird, a pied flycatcher probably. she was searching the nest... the light was difficult.


7:28 on the right branch. - this is perhaps not the same bird.


then on the nest again.

[ame]

7:31 moooo! a cow
then little birds. - the light is so difficult.




7:34 a chaffinch to the tip of the right branch.
