Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2021

[ame]

8:06 a jay visited and talked with different voices, but no shrieking this time.
thank you Digna125!

[ame]

9:57 - 9:59 black woodpeckers called nearby. i think there were at least two.


10:12 a jay flew to the left branch with something in his/her beak, an acorn maybe. the jay was working on the left branches. was he/she hiding the thing there?
and back to the left branch and to the nest.
10:13:55 another jay flew by on the lower right corner and the jay flew to the camera with a short stick that he/she took from the nest.
the images on the left and centre are enlarged to 170 % of the original.


then once more back to the top branches.
10:15 the jay flew away to the spruce on the right.

[ame]

17:28:59 a jay buzzed very near.
17:29 a jay started calling in the forest very nervously. i think this was another jay.
17:30 a jay visited the top branch and cried a lot. he/she seemed to be very upset. i couldn't see or hear anything that might have upset him/her.

[ame]

18:07 a blackbird and a jay.
18:08 a blackbird flew away from the top. still someone was talking nearby, a jay ?...

[ame]

18:11 a jay flew in. then a blackbird flew down from the top and came up to the nest, too.
18:12 another jay flew to the top branch.
the first jay had an acorn and started to hide it.


we are going to have Little Sisters growing on the nest next spring, a little forest.

[ame]

18:15 a jay again. and a blackbird again.
the jay peeked in the camera. then the jay tried to chase the blackbird away for a long time but with little luck.
18:21:47 two jays and a blackbird.

18:22 all three flew to the spruce on the right. the jays flew around on the right (perhaps the blackbird, too, but invisibly).

[ame]

18:27 a jay again.
18:37 another jay, too.
18:38:30 one of them flew to the spruce on the right.
18:38:45 the other flew away from our top.
18:39:35 the jay flew away from the spruce on the right.

[ame]

18:41 a jay talked very near.
18:42:05 a jay flew away from the top to the right.

[ame]

18:59 an insect or a spider walked over the lens.

[ame]

20:27 rustling near the microphone.
20:30 more.

[ame]

20:59 rustling.


i always wish that this creature would say something, too, but no.

good night!

[ame]

Sep 25

good morning!

it was a windy night with some rain at times. too much noise to find any interesting voices if there were any.

[ame]

8:13 great tits. first one then more.

8:14:31 a wood pigeon flew to our top and a light bird with white spots on the wings flew to the spruce on the right. that was another wood pigeon. they aren't all gone.

[ame]

8:15 ho-hooo'oo-ho-ho!. a wood pigeon called.
then a great tit on the nest.

8:16 a nuthatch first on the front right, then on the left branch.

[ame]

8:18 a nuthatch on the lens. then a juvenile blackbird on the nest. a great tit on the lower right side. then a nuthatch to the upper left branch and another to the poop branch.

8:18:59 a wasp flew by the camera. she is still here, too.
wasp in yellow ellipses, a nuthatch in a blue ellipse on the top branch above the poop branch and a blackbird in the pink square.


8:19 several wood pigeons flew away from our top. the juvenile blackbird flew to the front of the nest. a little grey bird on the left branch. the profile looked like a chaffinch but there were no stripes on the wings. a juvenile??
there were, however, white stripes on the sides of the tail. i think it was a chaffinch.

two brown birds. on the rear right a redwing or a song thrush (??) and on the front left a siskin (?).
the birds in the boxes are enlarged to 150 % of the original. now i see the little bird in the front right better. i think it's a yellowhammer. the end of the back is red-brown.

[ame]

8:20 two blackbirds and two great tits.
8:21 a thrush of some sort to the right branch. i think it's rather a song thrush than a redwing. redwings should have a white stripe above the eye.

then a jay with an acorn.
the jay stuffed the acorn inside the nest.
he/she will be sooo disappointed when he/she will return to get it. there will be a heap of stick on top of his/her hides.

[ame]

8:24 (nearly) a jay to the nest again. he/she flew to the top and talked there.
8:24:40 flew away.

[ame]

8:26 a jay returned. he/she checked the place where the jay hid the acorn. it must be the same jay.
then the jay went upstairs and talked there.
8:26:46 the jay flew away and a little grey bird flew to the top branch.

8:27:35 the little bird flew away. it was impossible to see what bird it was.

[ame]

8:29 voices of a blue tit from very near. then the tit came up to the nest from the left.
8:30 voices of a nuthatch who stayed out of sight.

[ame]

8:44 a bird flew to the spruce on the right.
8:44:52 the bird flew from the spruce and by the nest tree close on the left side. a jay.
the images in the box on the right are enlarged to 150 % of the original.




9:57 an eagle! Mr L ? yes.


he is doing nest work, digging the nest. he is messing up the jay's storage...
a jay shrieked nearby. the jay is upset!

edit:
9:57 another eagle landed on the top of the spruce on the right. Milda presumably.

Sonchik saw a bird high in the sky before Mr L and Milda came. this was perhaps one of them approaching.

i made a clip of the flight. it's better to watch it on as large screen as possible and possibly in slow motion. the bird is very difficult to see.
