8:44 someone is rustling on the nest... i saw something flashing on the front left.
8:44:06 a big dark eye: a squirrel!

[ame]

someone has been here: there is new hay in the front left.

10:29:39 an eagle landed on the top. then Zorro dropped down with hay.
he worked a little.
10:30 he jumped to the right branch. then he flew out.


the harvester is still working in the forest. today it has not been too near for too long time.

[ame]

11:51:53 a great tit arrived already at on the lower right side.
11:52:45 the great tit visited the nest.
then the great tit was up on the poop branch.

[ame]

14:18:45 a blue tit visited.

November 14

good morning!

it's raining and it has rained all morning. 🌧 🌧

6:18:41 the camera woke up. there was some light shining on the Left Sister and the nest.
this is a tricky picture. i need to look at it from an inclined angle from some certain directions to see the light on the Left Sister and on the left side of the trunk. there's some light also on the right rim of the nest.


if one listened carefully it was possible to hear the sound of the harvester behind the sound of rain. the harvester was probably working somewhere behind our left shoulders but not very near.

Andra wrote in YT chat: "​​13:33 zilzīlīte" = blue tit.
thank you Andra!
the blue tit came from low right but there was also a nuthatch on the poop branch, and one more little bird on the outer right branch. she was too far to see well enough but that was maybe another blue tit or perhaps a goldcrest.
i couldn't get a good picture of all the three birds at the same time. the blue tit was first near the kingfisher and the 3rd bird was moving in the area in the yellow circle.

14:33 Mārtiņš D​ and mega2 saw a raven on the nest. thank you!

the Nest Inspector turned some hay to be sure that there were no goodies hidden there.
- i saw that the hay was not the same way as when i left earlier.
the raven went upstairs and preened there. she didn't seem to mind the chainsaws.
14:40 the raven flew away.

[ame]

14:46 a raven called nearby and then flew to the top branch and called more. this was an adult with black mouth.
she began to zwang her banjo.

Ina Jaunošāne​​ wrote in YT chat: "15.06 2 ērgļu balsis" = 2 eagles' calls.
thank you Ina!
this a little before 15:06 but close enough.
there was a male and a female and they were rather near.

[ame]

​​17:09 a car drove on the road on the ridge on the left.


someone in the chat suggested that the road has become visible because of the logging now. this is not so. it has been possible to see cars driving on this road since the beginning of this camera.

[ame]

17:19 a tawny owl called nearby.

[ame]

​​the full Moon is almost exactly in the east on the left but it's too high for us to see it.

[ame]

18:27:13 the camera turned off.
