Karula National Park (Karl II and Kaia)

[Adria]

I strained my ears too , but it sounded like a different beep than the one an hour ago

[Adria]

14.24 - preening, aeration, PS right in front of the camera (very good )

[Madli]

Yes, first time the beep was loud and clear, the second time it was soft and quiet.

It could be that the egg was turned on the other side, sound went into the moss.

Or I am just losing my mind..

I guess we are all already impatient. It's been a long wait!

[Adria]

This is normal, for example I can hear ants stomping. .
