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.

The harsh winter weather has made winter birds gather near bird feeders. A surprise attack at lightning speed in these places is a chance for birds of prey. The females of sparrowhawks are clearly larger than the male birds and markedly more grey-coloured. They can tackle domestic pigeons successfully.
A sparrowhawk’s flight is extremely rapid and it can swoop through bare tree crowns most impressively
