Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2022

[ame]

6:01 Milda flew in. they started work together...

[ame]

6:05 Milda worked and Voldis looked at her... i think he had something in his mind...
Voldis no! not this time of the year!

[ame]

6:07 Milda jumped to the top branch. she has found her tail spots again. the feathers have grown back.

[ame]

6:10 Milda flew out.


Voldis followed her.




...more later. now i need some

[ame]

6:12:51 a wood pigeon flew to the top.
6:29:17 the pigeon flew away.

[ame]

6:53 a chaffinch visited the right branch.

[ame]

6:56 -> a lot of little birds were around the nest. i think i saw a chaffinch and heard a willow warbler singing and a great tit talking...

[ame]

6:58 a great spotted woodpecker flew down from the top. a great was talking, probably under the nest (someone was there)
6:59 the woodpecker came to look at the camera: a juvenile.
then she went downstairs but continued knocking there....

[ame]

7:00 the woodpecker came up to the nest again. she took a cone and went downstairs.

[ame]

7:00:57 a bird with red cap flew to the top and then down by the left side. the juvenile woodpecker.
7:01 the juvenile woodpecker came back to the nest. then another woodpecker came up on the right side... then to the front of the nest. this was an adult male: he had a red spot in the back of the head.
- the light was very bad.

[ame]

8:03 - 8:07 calls/whistles. who was calling?


8:11 - 8:14 more of the same calls. the call or whistle was like the whistle motif of a blackbird's song, a very much simplified and short part of the flute sound. could it be a blackbird junior practising his song?

[ame]

mega2: "​17:47:10 vālodze/golden oriole?"
yes! two golden orioles.
this was really well spotted because each bird was visible only in one frame each.


18:47 mega2 wrote in YT chat: "​18:46 ērglis pārlidoja mežu no kreisās uz labo pusi"
= ​At 18:46, the eagle flew over the forest from left to right.
thank you mega2!
this was probably one of ours.


20:11 bird's calls... like an osprey?
the two birds flew a circle above the swan pond.

[ame]

20:33 two wood pigeons flew by on the lower right.


21:59:50 a pygmy owl called. (i think; i think i heard something like that already at about 21:35)

[ame]

22:20 the Moon is rising.

[ame]

the harvester is still working...
about a quarter to 11 pm the harvester stopped. the dew is setting in and the crops become too damp.

August 12

good morning!

4:40 - 4:44 a pygmy owl sang nearby.
at times it sounded like there were two but it's also possible that the owl turned his head while he was singing.

[ame]

4:57 - 5:05 onward the owl called more but now he was somewhere farther.

[ame]

5:09 rustling of wings... a robin!
5:11:09 i think there were two: one on the left branch and the other on front left.

[ame]

5:34 Voldis flew in. his tail was very tidy this time.


he worked with nest material a little.
5:35 squirrel's voices?

[ame]

5:50 Voldis looked at something over the meadow... i couldn't see anything.
