wood pigeons

 Pine and larch grow in front of the windows of my apartment. Already last year, a pair of wood pigeons started building a nest, but then gave up. This year the pigeons have come again. They started building a nest. The male broke off larch twigs and carried it over a pine tree. The female was arranging them. These activities were very funny. A lot of twigs fell under the tree. Passers-by asked who was the trash under the trees. It took about 3 days to build. Then the pigeons were sitting in turn on the nest. The nest is just above the window. It's easy to observe. I got two eggs in the nest. Hatching is already taking place in the second week. I personally try to protect the place from cats looking there. The weather is very bad now. It's been raining the second day and it's about +2 degrees. Hope the chicks hatch. When that happens, I will write in the next post.

a herd of bisons from the Augustów Primeval Forest

 Now in the age of cells, it’s easy to get messages. I have just received a text message from a bison herd near the village of Skieblewo. We went there, a herd of European bison was grazing in a meadow at the edge of the forest. This is the whole herd inhabiting the Augustów forests. The first bison were brought here only two years ago. Already here the herd has increased. New bison were born. Only now were we able to observe them ourselves. Too bad it was almost dusk. Good photos are hard to come by in such conditions. But it was worth it.
