Great white egret
Great white egret Hõbehaigur Ardea alba
In Mustvee, on the shore of Lake Peipus and at the river, a great white egret is present. A couple of days ago it was flying above Jõe street in a flock of gulls.
Overeating makes one sleepy, lazy and fat. Only a month ago such an image was not to be thought of: the badger flops down to sleep in front of the burrow. But a badger preparing for winter tends to be tired after one more major bellyful.

More news now from the Soosaare sett. All three badgers whom we have seen here before the longish break passed in camera view last week. The large fat male badger with the bushy blunt tail, the large fat female badger with a narrower tail and now also a rather fat young badger but with a narrower tail. The younger badger differs from the female only by the proportions. Its body is smaller compared to the head.

Some time ago n interesting story could be read in the Viljandimaa newspaper „Sakala” about how a hunter who had been luring elks deceived a wolf flock. Such a hunter is worthy of admiration. Most hunters cannot imitate an elk cow so masterfully.
We should also feel proud of the fact that wolf packs can be seen in our forests. How many countries can still boast about that.

Linda’s rock in Lake Ülemiste. Postcard ca 1920s
Last week a notice went through the newspapers that the Muinsuskaitseamet (Estonian National Heritage Board) had finally granted permission for removal of three ritual rocks that would hinder the expansion of Tallinn Airport. What was startling in the news however was the fact that one 100-tonne sacrificial rock with grooves would be sawn into four parts and transported so to the others.
