The heron camera starts its third season. We follow the activities in Estonia’s largest heron colony in Lääne County where last season nearly 490 pairs of grey herons and 250 pairs of great egrets were nesting. Only grey herons were nesting in the colony from the start in the 1990’ies; the great egrets did not move in until 2015.

We installed a fish camera in the waters on the northern shore of lake Võrtsjärv, hoping to see the activities of pikes during their spawning period. The camera is located on the bank area that is flooded by high water at a depth of about 40 cm between sedge tufts and last year’s grass where the conditions are perfect for the spawning of the pikes

Common frog Rana temporaria  ( www.loodusemees.ee )

The massive spring migration of frogs is gaining momentum again due to warm spring weather. In this context, the Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF) invites volunteers to assist the frogs  and asks drivers in case of darkness to be very attentive both to amphibians and the volunteers assisting them. Wherever possible, on warm and rainy April evenings driving in places where frogs cross the roads massively should be avoided.

The beaver camera is once more online. This year we will be able to follow the activities of the beavers at their lodge on the shore of the Penijõgi in the Matsalu National Park. Behind the beaver lodge the largest reed field at the Baltic is visible.
