In-reply-to » I remembered to put the camera on my tripod. The neighbors yelling around messed up the audio a bit, though. I kinda saved most parts, but it could have been still better. When I was filming Azabache, a bluetit wanted to return to its nest somewhere next to me, I assume. It was shouting extremely loudly and immediately took off again to land on another roof ridge. It's the one in 24. I had to turn down the volume in the audio. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so adorable! Thank you for the video, I downloaded it. Azabache’s life is seemingly so pleasant, and the sing song, oh my! 🎶😍

So, off we went to the Staufeneck Castle Ruin after having a lunch first. The rain drizzling on the umbrella was very nice and I was very glad that he dragged me outside.
