7:44 a wood pigeon flew to the spruce on the right. he sang a verse every now and then.

[ame]

8:12 the wood pigeon sang again in the spruce on the right.
8:12:06 he flew away. then calls like of a honey buzzard flying closer...
8:13 a jay! was it a jay all the time??


8:16 a grey-headed woodpecker called? not very near. then a little brown bird to the left side of the nest, probably a pied flycatcher.
8:17 more honey buzzard's voices. little birds on the right, the flycatcher (?) and a chaffinch. the chaffinch chased the other.

8:28 a juvenile great spotted woodpecker and a little brown bird, a pied flycatcher probably.
the woodpecker examined the camera again.

[ame]

8:32 loud rustling... it was the woodpecker again. this time he/she examined the microphone. the he/she came up and pulled a cone out of one hole between the sticks. then he/she pushed the cone in another hole between the sticks.

...

[ame]

9:51 a knock and then a distant bang. a stick dropped?


10:20 grey-headed woodpecker(s) called.


later great spotted woodpeckers, too, of course. i didn't make a clip. we have heard those calls enough.

i'll go out for a few hours.

[ame]

12:52 a stick turned on the right side of the nest.
15:08 the stick turned again and slipped a centimetre or two down.
15:11:48 the stick dropped. what a thriller!

[ame]

16:59 a black woodpecker called. then maybe someone else?? yes! i think i can hear an eagle calling very far. a male's voice.

[ame]

Aug 5

good morning!

4:30 a loud buzz. it was probably a moth near the microphone.

[ame]

5:35 the bird with the strange voice called. then a crow called. these voices often come together. i begin to suspect that the crow makes the funny voice.

narrow white stripes on the wings.


6:32:01 a chaffinch to the right branch. a male maybe but with a bit dull colours (it's late in the season). he flew to the top. two white stripes on the wing(s), one of them so wide that it could almost be called a spot.

[ame]

6:32:53 a woodpecker to the trunk opposite the camera. the youngster again.
(i assume that it's the same woodpecker who visits frequently. he/she 'lives' here).
