Re: Eagles Winter Feeding Ground 2012
Good morning, Mutikluti!
Some kind of thrush? It finds something to eat there in the snow.

At last-- I was uploading video of the thrush (I think that is what it was, it's movements reminded me of our American robin, which is actually a thrush). Y-tube was being extremely s-l-o-w, & it was a very long video, so it took a lot of time. So here it is, all 8 minutes of it for those who missed seeing the bird live. It is very quiet because even the ravens were not yet making any morning noise.
Oh, there it is again right now on the cam!

I looked up in Wikipedia for mistel thrush, song thrush, & redwing thrush, & the redwing pictures look most like it. So I think it is a redwing.

I have been searching Wikipedia again, this time for European woodpeckers. Is it a Great Spotted Woodpecker? Looks similar the the picture with the article I found.Fleur wrote: ...and has no red spot in the neck, so it is a female

About the thrush - are you quite sure it is not a fieldfare (hallrästas, Turdus pilaris)?
Simply because that would be the most common thrush - besides the blackbird - to be in Estonia in winter.
We need our birder Margus Ots to look in He has a redwing on his 2012 list http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/12376 but writes that it is rather rare in winter.
