= a little bird. this was a Phylloscopus of some sort, a chiffchaff or a willow warbler (probably, not a flycatcher this time)


thank you mega2!

19:53-4 a little bird visited the poop branch. she had two large white stripes on the wing. a chaffinch?

August 15

good morning!

3:28 a tawny owl called nearby once.

[ame]

5:07 - 5:08 a pygmy owl whistled.
5:12 - 5:15 he called more.

[ame]

7:05 a great spotted woodpecker flew to the top (invisibly). she called...
7:05:39 the woodpecker flew down and called more...

[ame]

7:07 a great spotted woodpecker visited the top branches. this woodpecker was quiet.

[ame]

8:12 - 8:15 a grey-headed woodpecker has called nearby.

[ame]

8:18 a grey heron called.

...now i need some

[ame]

the wind has become so strong that it is swinging one of the sticks with dried leaves up and down. it's not a new stick.

[ame]

12:16 a little bird called very near but out of sight. it sounded like a contact call of a chaffinch or a willow warbler.
12:18 a little grey bird visited in the rear left. it could have been a willow warbler. this bird didn't say anything.

thank you mega2!
the tail was a bit untidy again.


Voldis moved a stick in the back of the nest and then flew away.

August 16

good morning!

5:02 a pygmy owl began to sing nearby. i think there were two of them: i heard two calls at the same time once.
one of them did most of the singing. he sang till 5:05.

[ame]

5:07 the pygmy owl sang more. it sounded like he wasn't as near as earlier.
5:08 after a short pause more singing and a little farther again.
5:09 again a call after a minute's pause.
5:10 again.

[ame]

5:15 - 5:16 more constant whistling. i think i heard two owls again, at the same time, but one of the owls sang most (i think).

[ame]

6:01 a thrush talked near, invisibly. i can't say which thrush.

[ame]

6:14 a wren sang near (invisibly).
6:18 more.... till 6:20.
then also a great spotted woodpecker called krräkräkräkräk!!
what a finish for the beautiful song.


the wren's song resembles a little the robin's song but the tempo is quicker (it sounds a little 'nervous'). the wren also has a verse which he keeps repeating with little modulations. the robin, on the other hand, keeps twittering endlessly with his flute. it sounds like he does not know how to stop the melody which goes on and on seemingly in improvisation.

[ame]

7:03:36 a wood pigeon flew over the meadow from the left to the spruce on the right.
after 11 s the pigeon flew away to the left.

[ame]

7:12 a wood pigeon flew to the spruce on the right. he sang. ...
7:15 he sang... then he flew away to the left.


Voldis has not returned this morning.
he often does when he has been here in the evening but not today.

[ame]

7:16:49 a wood pigeon flew to the top.
7:30:22 the pigeon flew away.

[ame]

8:46:37 a grey little bird flew by. then she fluttered under the nest on the right. a pied flycatcher?

[ame]

10:28 rustling from above. is someone on the top? yes:
10:28:01 someone landed very softly on the top. the sound was louder than the landing of a wood pigeon. they can land without a sound at least sometimes, but their wings usually make sound.
