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.

It is quite complicated to observe the high brown fritillary on sunny days ; it only stops to feed on flowering plants , so one has to be lucky. The flight style is powerful, and we can meet this butterfly in open forest landscapes and hayfields, also at forest roads. The orange of the upper side of the wings is decorated by an almost black script pattern, and the wing edges have a dotted fringe. The undersides of the wings vary, but eyecatching white flecks are always noticeable. Arne’s photo at the end shows a high brown fritillary with closed wings.
 

If by chance you see a pair of these butterflies, then the smaller one is the male. They start flying in July and can be seen as long as the late summer weather lasts.
