Beaver    Kobras or piiber       Castor fiber

On the banks of inland waters traces of beaver activities are well visible; our largest rodents still have their mating period, and the otherwise wary creatures move around even in daytime. Their gestation period lasts three and a half months.

In our neighbourhood pygmy owls have become more active in evenings. There were at least three of them on Wednesday making themselves heard in the village.

View from Wednesday morning of white-tailed eagle nest

For the symbols of Estonian primeval nature, the white-tailed eagles and golden eagles and the owls, the breeding period has started and the birds sit on eggs in the nests. The Environmental Board calls on all landowners, forest managers, hunters and all others who move in nature to support the peace during the breeding time of birds that are rare and very sensitive to environmental changes.
