Hi
There seems to be quite quiet today at the feeding place?

I put on the map ringing places of WTE who have seen here NW-Estonia during last four winters. Altogether 18 different birds and half of them are from Finland! One from Koola peninsula (see the pic of this bird taken last winter), one from Latvia and seven from Estonia.

Interesting! Thank you, Renno! So no eagles from Scandinavia outside Finland come? Where do they go?

Some of them are crossing the Baltis Sea, for example only one Estonian WTE have been seen in Sweden and no birds from Sweden are registered here. Compare to Finland we search much less color rings of WTE also ... in Finland there are many observations of Swedish birds. But still the Baltic Sea is wide to cross and crossing small additional risk and therefore they follow mostly the coastline and usually move more to south during the winter. Adult birds are quite sedentary and do not make long "migrations" at least here in Estonia. Our birds farest recoveries are in Hungary, Tzech, Slovakia, Switzerland, Austria.

So the sea is worse than long land flights (Kola!) although they are 'sea eagles'? Why do the others (not Estonian) move: Cold (not much different to south Finland?) - Food (should be plenty up north with the reindeer). Or are actually only a few moving, most stay in their countries?
Sorry - more questions to each answer, like small children!

Hi!

I´m new in this forum and my englisch is very terrible! But I hope you will understand me? I`m from germany and I every day look at the lifestreams!! I LOVE IT!!

But in this day I was shocked, whats that for a dead animal on eagle Cam? It looks like a dead dog ore so?

Can someone tell me?

Thanks!!

Welcome, Hilde.
Don't be shocked by the natural world - eagles, buzzards, ravens are nature's cleaners. They feed on dead aniimals - drowned, road-kill, however an animal met it's death, there is always something else to feed on it.

Our member Simon is also in Germany, and he has overcome the language difficulty and we enjoy his company. I know you will do the same.
Ricky, too, is so helpful.
