thank you mega2!
edit: 16:34 Ina Jaunošāne wrote in YT chat:" ​15.16.40 arī - augšējā labajā stūrī."
: "e15.16.40 also - in the upper right corner. "
that is correct: a big bird flew up there. it is not clear that it was an eagle but it could be! there seems to be a white tail on the bird.


thank you Ina!
i made a longer video with the second fly-by.
the first bird was clearly an adult eagle.
