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 rains nourished the raspberries

There have not been many berry-pickers in the forests in this heat, and where there has been rain there are raspberries to pick.
The berries of the raspberry are really aggregates of drupes: each tiny globule is a drupe containing a seed, and in one fruit there are many tens of these drupes. The "berries” contain many vitamins, acids, sugars and more. Of course they are especially valuable eaten fresh. And what a delicacy - freshly picked raspberries with milk and sugar.

All have of course come across worm-eaten fruits. The larvae of the raspberry beetle disappear in August, because they go into the soil to become pupae, then appearing again as beetles in the autumn, wintering in the soil, and in June next year laying eggs on the young raspberry canes: such is their life cycle.
