When such a sign comes up then really "no more business here" and the Big Year must be considered finished (Meerapalu 31.12.2012)
 
Although we had the Big Year final party some days ago already, I still decided to go on a trip today. If I had taken on the birding project for the whole year, then I should get out on the last day of the year too. The weather was snivelly, dark and windy, but I made a tour of the Järveselja forests nevertheless. The last chance in Tartumaa to get one more...

Wood lark at Sõrve säär 02.12.2012. In the morning 4 wood larks were busy near the lighthouse. One of them was visibly weak and let itself be captured by hand. Sadly, the bird died, apparently from injury (one leg missing), cold and hunger (Photo: Uku Paal)
 
During the night pretty much more snow fell on Sõrve säär and the view was quite wintery here too. At once...

Common snipe
 
On December 1st collecting of winter points starts and so more birders than usual might be seen moving around in the beginning of the month. But this first day passed somehow very quietly. No messages at all came by Rariliin (Birdline) in the morning. Towards evening however...

View of Dirham cape
 
November is probably the dullest bird month and so I did not venture out much, only a couple of times on twitching trips. In the beginning of the month, November 2 – 3, I went to Dirham in Läänemaa to twitch the little bunting and on November 19th I managed to see the...

Naumann’s thrush (Turdus naumanni) 19.11.2012 at Pitkäna, Kihnu island – new species for Estonia! An extremely secretive bird whom it was complicated to capture in a photo. But the characteristic traits of the species are visible even in the foggy photo (Photo: Uku Paal)

Pine grosbeak, Kabli bird station 24.10.2012
 
As it happens somehow I haven’t managed to get out on any birding trips for 2 whole weeks. Such a long pause hasn’t occurred earlier this year and will not be repeated either. November is actually one of the most boring bird months and I did not have any plans for long trips, but some interesting things have happened in the meantime all the same. Reports from all Estonia continued to arrive about...
