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.

Today we had a rather rare winter guest –a rough-legged hawk.

 

  Rough-legged hawk Buteo lagopus  

 

The rough-legged hawk is also called winter hawk. It nests in the Polar areas and so is used to fighting with ravens. On arrival the bird’s characteristic pale wing undersides and black wing shoulders can be seen, as well as the feet, feathered down to the toes. The winter population may be about a hundred individuals, usually keeping near the coast
 
Very easy to mistake for common buzzard.
