Male Ivo brings fish to the nest. The “ring-fettered” young osprey gets it to eat

Osprey        Kalakotkas      Pandion haliaetus

 

The young ospreys are already two and a half months old. But we will not look at this but at the plastic ring that has got tangled on the leg of one young osprey.

Leisi Rainbow

The changes between sunshine and showers bring many rainbows into the sky.

A rainbow is  an optical phenomenon – refraction, reflection and diffraction of light in water droplets. The eye of a human distinguishes between red, orange, yellow, green, blue, dark blue and violet. Sometimes we  see several rainbows, or secondary  rainbows with reversed colours above the main rainbow.

Rainbows develop only when the sun is not higher on the horizon than 40⁰.

Such a crane chick was brought to us

On July 14th the Imeloomade Selts, a society that helps wild animals in distress, received a call that in the Kaelas village in Pärnu  County a lonely crane chick had appeared in the farm yard.

The neighbourhood had been searched but adults to whom to return their offspring was not to be found anywhere.

The wildlife helpers expected a half-metre tall angry fighter such as young cranes may be at this time. The surprise was great when the bird was handed to them across the gate in a small box.
