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.

Nuthatch.
| Nuthatch | Sitta europaea |
The nuthatch is one of the few birds who can climb down trees with its head downwards – occasionally this can be seen at the feeder too. In the winter nuthatches like to keep company with tits.
The birds have a spool-shaped body and a short tail. Blue-gray back, underside is white, the flanks and the tail underside are rusty-brown. The black eyestripe and the long and strong bill are very characteristic. The male and the female are similar. This noticeable bird has a noticeable number of names in many languages.
Some local Estonian names: puurähn, puuvästrik, puuporr, kusetaja, takutoristaja, piibutaja...The nuthatch is seldom seen in our western islands. The estimate of winter numbers varies between one and two hundred thousand individuals.
