I am not sure what kind of this bird was. A Mistle thrush? It landed in the lower left corner of the screen, only partial visible, and quickly flew up again. It made some soft calls unknown to me.

No Capercaillies again this morning?

Good Morning
Time flies like in flight... You would have to have a second camera in the breeding area ... I'm already starting to dream, Urmas

Aren't there enough webcams already? Camera's and accompanying equipment are very expensive and it will cost already a lot of money to make this cam reliable.
A capercallie nest is difficult to find. Then you have to make it visible, place a camera at it etc. The breeding season is over before you start viewing.

22:45 In the last 30 minutes or so there is some action. Mainly wings heard.
The only visible action is from a spider on the camera.
23:10 Singing Nightjar not far away.

I have been operating today from 4am to 6:30.
Unfortunately no Cc on cam. Just some flying in the air.
So I had time to test some technical settings of the camera.

4:08 Cc flies from tree to the ground left, out of view. Feeding a bit on bilberry leaves and stays watching around. Close view.
4:34 starts to feed, some steps and stays again
4:48 some movement (difficult to follow by operator)
Later standing on fallen pine

It doesn't surprise me at all. Added as number 54 to the list.
Btw. Yesterday I heard on the Põgari-Sassi cam a Northern wheatear including several times a clear mimic of Rosefinch it its song.

so sweet
Although it can adapt to a number of different habitats such as bogs and deciduous forests or semi-open landscapes and mixed forests, it has become very rare in Germany: From 600 to 950 areas go out the ornithologists, two copies NABU fellows sighted at the hour of garden birds 2017. It feeds on seeds and buds, and its range extends from Central Europe via Turkey, Iran and beyond the Himalayas to Kamchatka.

Rosefinch can be heard on many Estonian and Latvian webcams.
