May 4

good morning!

the night was calm and quiet. only frogs were singing loud almost all night. swans talked at the lake a few times.
00:01 a tawny owl male called a few times.


at about 01:12 at least two roe deer barked rather far.
at about 01:20 the moonlight started to fade away. it looked like fog set in.
at about 01:30 onward it was dark. clouds had covered the Moon.
at about 5 it sounded like rain.
Milda was up doing something for a few times during the night. it was impossible to see what she was doing.

2 s later Voldis started calling nearby and he flew from the left to the nest. both Milda and Voldis called a lot.

then they looked around.., mostly left.

[ame]

5:27 Milda got up and dug the nest a little...
then she talked softly, without sound...
