8:51 Milda came in from the left with a stick


8:54 they work with that branch


8:56 one of them on the poop branch. Ah, thank you ame . So it is Milda

[ame]

8:56 Milda jumped to the poop branch. she flew over the Swan Pond.
8:57 she flew away. Voldis flew to the left.

8:58 a black woodpecker called far.

[ame]

9:02 sound of mute swan's wings. invisible swan(s).

[ame]

9:06 -> what's that voice? is it a fox?
... i think it is a fox barking. she is coming closer.

[Liz01]

ame, I think that is a fox female

9:10 the fox is barking near

fox barking sounds ..


Red Foxes make a variety of different sounds including barks, screams, howls, squeals and ‘gekkering’. Recent studies have identified 12 different sounds produced by adults and 8 by kits. Two of the most commonly-heard calls are the ‘bark’ & ‘scream’, perhaps because these are the loudest and can be heard for some distance. Another common call is the ‘wow wow wow’ contact call, which sounds more like a bird to me than a fox! You can hear examples of a couple of these Red Fox sounds below.

9:16 Milda flew out. Voldis went to the top branch. the fox stopped barking.
9:17 Voldis flew out.

[ame]

9:26:24 a bird flew by. a crow.
9:26:55 a big bird landed on the top. a cone dropped from the top. did the bird only grab something and continue?
edit: the eagle stayed there. it must have been Milda.

[ame]

9:27 Voldis flew in from the left with a stick. he worked...

[ame]

9:30 he went to the top branch.
Voldis went to the top branch.
he began to preen...
i need coffee...

[ame]

9:38:47 the eagle flew away from the top. Voldis flew away after her.

[ame]

i found something funny. usually in the day time it's impossible to see air planes but sometimes that's possible. normally we can only hear the planes.
10:50 Ryanair's Riga - Berlin flew over us.




a few years ago Air Baltic had flights from Riga to Liepāja a little before midnight in the spring. it was possible to see the plane in dark sky, reflecting sunlight from the Sun which had already set.

[ame]

12:16 a jay came to 'sing' to us. ... she stayed invisible.

[ame]

14:52:58 a fox started barking wow-wow-wow! .... wow-wow-wow! ... wow-wow-wow! .... wow-wow-wow! ...

[ame]

14:57 more fox barking, this time rau! ... rau! ... rau! ....
14:57:55 screaming! that sounded like a raccoon dog.
then the fox continued barking. she is going farther...
14:59:15 two different fox voices almost at the same time: the rau!... rau! and the wow-wow-wow!


the first fox at 14:53 called wow-wow-wow! .... wow-wow-wow! ....
the second fox called rau! ... rau! ... rau! ....
the raccoon dog's cry is something almost indescribably horrible.

15:10 Voldis flew in


is calling,


another eagle flew past. that looks like a juvenile? Yes it was! Maybe the youngster thought Voldis had a fish and his claws

[ame]

15:10 Voldis flew in with a stick and called a short call. another eagle flew by. the tail was dark and the beak was dark, all bird was dark.

15:14 Voldis relaxed and worked a little, dug the hay...
15:19 Voldis flew out.

[ame]

15:39:50 a dark bird flew from top left corner and called: a raven. the raven sang for some time nearby in different voices.

[ame]
