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.

Blue underwing

Blue underwing moth.
 
August nights are the best time for watching or catching night moths. One of the most beautiful of the night-time guests is the blue underwing or Clifton non-pareil (Catocala fraxini). It is splendid to meet it in daytime too. Those encounters are rare, mostly because of its extraordinary camouflage ability. The one in the picture above I found on the wall of a shed in Saaremaa. When I had a little talk with it, and it showed me the blue and white stripes on the undersides of its wings something unexpected happened. All of a sudden my eyes were full of spurted matter and it was gone … so probably I had annoyed it.
