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.

A pause in bringing extra food

In the second half of November the weather has turned out to be some five degrees warmer than usual. Bringing food to the eagles doesn’t seem meaningful, everything can still be found in nature. There is enough food on the seashore, and particularly much energy isn’t used up. The white-tailed eagles have discovered the feeding ground, adult as well as juvenile birds have been observed, but they show little interest in the extra food supply at the moment. Even pursuing the ravens that fly away with pieces of meat isn’t particularly “exciting” for the eagles at the moment. The ravens hide pieces of meat in the woods, to have it stored and to have something to fetch in leaner times. But foxes and raccoons notice this too. A piece of meat that is disgustingly stinking and rotting to our senses is an appetising delicacy for them that is worth going kilometre-long distances for.
We will leave the camera working, but feeding will have a pause until permanent cold sets in.
