The fish camera is now located in the Keila-Joa River at the mouth of the Keila River in a fast-flowing cut: the sea begins at about a hundred meters from here. A kilometre upstream the 6,1 m high Keila waterfall is an insurmountable obstacle for migratory fish coming from the sea.

The nightjar nestlings hatched within less than a day on June 13 and 14 and by today they are one week old. Splendid that we have been able to follow the doings of these birds through the web camera. We have been lucky: after all this is the Bird Of The Year.

 The attacks of the goshawk on the nest lasted nearly until noon with intervals; interesting where the bird of prey headed and why did it abstain from attacking the nest again?

The storklets calmed down within some ten minutes after the bird of prey left – they can  judge danger.
