New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

Velvet scooters
 
January 26
This morning I was in Ristna by early dawn. But I stayed for just an hour, there were no particular bird movements to see. Only small numbers of long-tailed ducks were migrating, also a few loons and velvet scooters and today’s most exciting bird, a razorbill. Steller’s eiders were not to be seen anywhere. The wind had brought a mass of broken ice to the Ristna tip and there were not many stationary birds either. I would not even have stayed for that hour but it was exciting to see how at least 5 white-tailed eagles and a goshawk harassed the waterfowl. But they didn’t catch any.
 
All today’s observations from a rather dull bird day are in the e-Biodiversity database.
 
The Estonian Ornithological Society (EOÜ) invites all to the winter garden bird survey this weekend (January 28-29). How it works can be read on the EOÜ web page.
