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.

This year it’s possible to follow two lesser spotted eagle cameras—one in Jõgeva County, Estonia, and the other in the Madona region of Latvia near the Teici Nature Reserve. Technically speaking, the Latvian spotted eagle camera works similarly to our own. The project is led by the Latvian spotted eagle specialist, Ugis Bergmanis. On the Latvian spotted eagle camera page, it’s possible to get additional information on their system and last years results. The main goal of the Latvian camera is to research the spotted eagle’s diet.

The Eagle Club, with help from many others, installed the Mobotix web camera at a lesser spotted eagle’s nest in Jõgeva County on the 11th of April. The same nest was followed last year, but the eagles didn’t find it right for laying eggs and so the eagles skipped the year. Through the Mikrotik antennas, the signal reaches a tower eight kilometers away, and from there it travels by Televõrgu's fiber-optic cable. Televõrgu arranges the signal transfer to the EENet server, where the picture is decoded and distributed to enthusiasts. The part of the system located in the forest gets its power from solar panels.
