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.

Mosquitoes in winter air

Although most mosquitoes (suborder Nematocera) won’t be seen flying around in winter, with the warm weather now we can almost surely meet one or two of them slowly drifting in the air in some clearing at the edge of a forest. If one should land in your hair, or on your sleeve – there is no point in killing it, because, firstly, it isn’t the season for bloodsucking mosquitoes to suck blood and reproduce, and secondly, it is very probably a mosquito belonging to some wholly “innocent” species that hovers around and it wouldn’t suck blood in summer either. Now at last mosquitoes can be admired at leisure without worrying about bloodsucking.
