9:10 Thrush Nightingale ( Luscinia luscinia) is singing all time .. almost the whole night and right now
I hear this bird very often this year, where I live. At first I thought it is a nightingale. But they don't breed that far north. My bird app showed me the Thrush Nightingale

18:16 little ones are still resting. I hope for a successful hunt at night. #3 needs more food. I think this long fast wasn't so good for #3? Of course I can be wrong. i am not a bird. I am amazed that the hare has already eaten. Or is there leftover in the pantry? I don't know it.

19:34 the stream doesn't work properly. thee are many breaks.
19:42 a picture and the stream is off again
Image

I give up.

Askja, I whis you a great night with the eagle owl family :D :wave:
