19.24 A bird flies by. It could be some kind of hawk.


A Goshawk would be really bad news..

19.24 - It was a falcon. I couldn't have taken better photos.

I know Adriana, it's impossible to get some decent shots of these fast moving objects

I'm not a hawk expert..so I can't say if it could be a sparrowhawk or a goshawk or somebody else.
It didn't seem to be very big in size, and it wasn't interested in our nestlings...

Bonus is posing in front of the camera again


Our chicks have cuddled up and ready for the night.

Probably, it was some kind of predator, and considering that it was smaller and not interested in chicks ones, I assumed that it was a falcon. I'm also no expert - it was my deduction.

ame, in LK forum: "the storklets reacted to this bird but not very strongly. it looked like a hawk but it could have been a cuckoo. there are a plenty of them around." (https://www.looduskalender.ee/forum/vie ... 38#p868238)

I don't know what kind of bird I see


Thank you both for reporting and documenting, good job!
