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.

Eagle Camera’s Guest - Sparrowhawk

Sparrowhawk.
  Sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus  
   
Sparrowhawks can be seen all year round, and the winter numbers are estimated at over a couple of thousands. Female birds are larger than the male ones; males can be recognized by the rust-coloured bars on the lower part of the belly. The female birds have a dark gray-brown back; Arne’s photo shows the front view.
Young birds resemble the females.

They like keeping watch over their surroundings from a perch tree. Very skilful and fast flyers.
