Sander is one of the birds provided with a transmitter that registers the migration path of the bird. Based on a DNA investigation Sander has turned out to be a hybrid of greater and lesser spotted eagle.

Thickness of snow cover (cm) 26.10.2017 at 09.00 clock EEST

By the way, exactly one year ago snow fell only in South Estonia.

From early night the northerly wind will again increase up to 15 m/s and the wave height in open sea will be about one and a half metres. We will see if the snow that has fallen will mostly have thawed until Saturday noon…

For the salmonids the most important activities of the year have begun, and we try to share the images with everyone with an interest in fish and fishing. The camera was installed yesterday, connection was established today. We will see how it will survive the predicted storm at night.

Kingfisher in typical outlook spot

Kingfisher        Jäälind            Alcedo atthis

A single visit by a kingfisher might not cause overmuch excitement but the beautiful and colourful bird has been spotted for several days in camera view looking for prey.

The badger is a cool creature, never mind that he has surrendered the title of Animal of the Year to the roe deer. It makes no difference to him and he gets on with his own life as ever.

He has guests and some tend to arrive without notice when the owner of the burrow is not even at home himself. He keeps busy, tidies both himself and his home. Socializes, sleeps, sniffs fresh air and enjoys the sun even if it was sparingly offered this summer.
