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.

Bird feeder guest - domestic sparrow

Female and male house sparrows.

The house sparrow’s behaviour when it visits the bird feeder is like the greenfinch’s – they come to have lunch, not only just to grab something edible and fly away.
The colours of the male bird’s body plumage are quite bright: chestnut brown back with yellow and black. Female birds have duller back plumage: grey, black and beige. On the brownish wings both have a white band and black lenghtwise stripes. The underparts are grey. The male bird has a black chin patch that female birds lack, a grey crown, and a brown arched streak going out from the eye. The female sparrow’s head is brownish and the eyebrow streak isn’t as dark.
