Latvian WtE nest webcamera Juras-erglis Durbe 2022

[ame]

5:58 Voldis flew out.

[ame]

6:05 cranes called at the meadow nearby.

[ame]

6:23:37 a wood pigeon flew to the top.
6:54:14 the pigeon flew away.

[ame]

a cock is crowing at the farm...
7:22 two cocks at the same time!
two cocks at the same farm or a cock at two farms? i think the latter is more possible.

[ame]

7:25 two little birds. brown, light stripes on the wings, which they shook every now and them. pied flycatchers?
the light is bad.

[ame]

8:06 a little bird on the front of the nest, a tit. a blue tit probably, juvenile. the voice sounded like a blue tit and the face looks like a blue tit's face: light stripe above the eye.
- the light was rather poor.

[ame]

8:39 a mistle thrush called very near, flew by but invisibly.


...now i need some

[ame]

10:17:40 calls. a honey buzzard i think.

[ame]

10:36 a grey-headed wood-pecker visited the top branches quietly. mega2 spotted this. thank you mega2!


10:42 calls... a woodpecker? but not a great spotted but this didn't sound like a grey-head either.
no-one in sight.


edit: it was an osprey's voice!
here's a comparison:

11:03 mega2 wrote in YT chat: "​11:02 zivjērglis ligzdā"
= an osprey in the nest.
thank you mega2!

this fellow didn't have a ring.



i'll be out most of the day but i expect i can peek in every now and then...

[ame]

apparently nothing has happened and no-one has visited. at least mega2 hasn't reported anything and she sees the smallest things.

16:48 a bird called a short call and then a shadow flew by the nest on the left side.

[ame]

apparently nothing has happened here (but i'll check it later).

19:44 - 19:50 many sorts of woodpeckers called, a great spotted, a black woodpecker (far) and a third for the longest time. that was probably a grey-headed woodpecker (?)

[ame]

21:05 (about) calls of a grey heron. ... and a crows.

[ame]

21:29 many grey herons called.

August 13

good morning!

4:37 a pygmy owl began to whistle... there was also a party with music at the racing track.
4:38 a tawny owl called.

[ame]

4:42 louder music. i think that Latvians might recognize the song.
4:44 the pygmy owl whistled more.

[ame]

4:47 swans called far. then a pygmy owl. then the pygmy owl began to whistle. he was near now.
4:49 there were maybe even 2 pygmy owls.


the party went on...
also the pygmy owl whistled on ...
(but not very near)

i think i heard some music till about 5:30. some like to party...

[ame]

5:52 Voldis flew in. i think he had a twig.
a few seconds later Milda flew in.

5:53:41 Milda bit Voldis by the toe.


when Voldis showed that he didn't quite like it Milda snapped at him.



sorry, wrong video first!

[ame]

5:54 Milda jumped to the top branch.


Voldis started nest work (rather lazy).

[ame]

5:58 Milda jumped back to the nest. Voldis began to sing to he and jumped on Milda's back! i can't believe this: he tried to mate!


Milda shook him off and hit him. she called and Voldis jumped to the poop branch.
