Black Stork Camera Lovers

But maybe Padis is already much closer...

wasnt this yesterdays data? if they are flied one day more, they are much closer, home way is quicker, they arrive home exactly then the snow is melted

This was very interesting!!!!
I forgot to look for this myself, altho I did see that Urmas promised to show us this. Pretty amazing!!

The snow in the forrest is slowly melting. I keep the sound turned up when I am away from the computer so I do not miss that horrible, loud screeching sound they make when landing on the nest.

yeah,oss and valdur are home,pirsu and priidu are not far

morning sun is warming nest

sunny nest is waiting,aee,black storks,time to arrive to home!

I alredy hoped that you saw one!!!

Yes, it would be perfect to arrive home now, storks!!!! Hurry up!!

Chaffinch is singing close to the cam

I just saw the 1st animal on that cam this year - a bee or a fly But I was too slow to get a screenshot...

I heard the buzz yesterday -- it must have been very close to the microphone because it sounded HUGE!

an animals (i saw today on the fields one pair swans,one pair roe deers and one single elk (hirv))

Hirv seems to be Red Deer
(I thought you saw an elk=moose and then looked for the meaning of hirv. "Elk" always is a bit confusing as it refers to 2 species... )

Great you saw the Red Deer!! That doesn´t happen that often actually...

my dictionary said that hirv is elk or deer (just deer) and i desided to write elk
but yeah i was wondered,too, then i saw it...poor creature seemed "gray"... winter was hard,but now they can find tiny tiny green leaves

With such things dictionaries often are not very reliable. I usually use wikipedia. I search for the German subject and then change the language to English. Of course the same works for any other language.
That way I also found out the meaning of hirv. http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punahirv (click on "English" and you get "Red Deer").

Elk is another deer species that lives in America. But also the European Moose (Põder) is called Elk. That´s why it is confusing

In winter Red Deer have a brown-grey coat. Soon they will get their red summer coats. And before changing their coats they look VERY grey and shabby - as if they were sick.

Ooopps - I just found out another thing. Your dictionary actually was right: Hirv means Deer. Red DEER mean PunaHIRV and Sika DEER means TähnikHIRV. But as the Red Deer is the only hirv species in Estonia (Roe Deer and Moose are no HIRVS according to wikipedia ) you just say hirv=deer when referring to the Red Deer (it´s the very same in German ).

Now that was quite a research

Just to confuse you all a bit more: in Finnish the word HIRVI means moose
HIRVAS = male reindeer (used for breeding), (the female beeing vaadin)

Then again... HIRVIELÄIMET (roughly translated moose animals) is the correct translation for Cervidae family.....

bravoo to researchers and confusers...it was great lesson!
and thats it was look VERY grey and shabby

the volume of sound is better now

Yes, the volume is good -- a large number of geese were passing by the nest just now. Very loud.

On LK I read that an hour ago a BS visited the nest.
http://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=201&start=200

At that time I was watching another cam and so I missed the BS...

And I decided to sleep a little longer this morning.

It seems that none of us has seen the BS otherwise it would have been posted here.
90% of my time being at the computer the BS cam is running. And OF COURSE the BS has to show up in the remaining 10% when another cam is running...

I hope he/she will return soon!!

OH BOY!!!!!
And I have been away for many hours!!!!!

I don´t But it would be great to check pontu....

But I´m not sure if pontu still exists. Didn´t they saw that they removed one cam? Wasn´t that the pontu cam?? I hope I am wrong...
