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.
 
  Eurasian nuthatch
Puukoristaja
  Sitta europaea    
 
The nuthatch is one of the few birds who can move along a tree trunk with its head downwards – this can be seen at the feeder sometimes. In winter the nuthatches like to keep company with tits.

Nuthatches have a spool-shaped body and a short tail. The back is bluish-grey, the underside white, the sides of the belly and the undertail feathers are rusty red-brown. The black eye-streak and the long and strong beak are very characteristic. The female and male birds look similar. This noticeable bird has  many names: local British names are for instance woodpecker, woodhacker, woodcracker, nut topper, nut jobber, mud stopper; some Estonian names are, in translation: woodpecker, wood wagtail, woodborer, pisser, tow-blower, piper.
Winter numbers vary between a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand individuals; on our western islands the nuthatch is seldom seen.
