Water shrew   Vesimutt or harilik vesimutt    Neomys fodiens

 

The water shrew belongs to the shrew or Soricidae  family, not to be confused with water voles. The water voles are up to twice as large as water shrews or even more, and so clearly bigger.

The water shrew in action in the video is about six centimetres long, to that comes roughly the same amount of tail length. The  weight  is around ten grams but you may meet specimens that are larger by half

Just before eight o’clock Klaara showed that there was a fourth egg in the nest hollow

Tawny owl        Kodukakk      Strix aluco

 

To start with, the dates of the egg-layings have been: March 16th, 19th, 22nd and 24th.

From the 21st onwards Klaara has only briefly left the nest hollow a couple of times during the evening and night but legs must be stretched.

Male Klaus has fed the incubating female bird very properly according to the viewers and rodents seem to be around this year

Eagle owl       Kassikakk        Bubo bubo

Looduskalender's watchers at once recognize the location of the web camera  at the nest of .the white-tailed eagle pair. In winter members of the Kotkaklubi repaired and secured the nest bottom that fell apart during the previous season but this year the white-tailed eagles nest in their ”second nest” and so this year there will be no transmission from the white-tail eagle camera. Man proposes, nature disposes.

Klaus treats Klaara to a prey. Klaara returned early to the nest in the evening

Tawny owl         Kodukakk         Strix aluco

 

In the evening tawny owl life started as usual with Klaara flying out from the nest hollow but within an hour she was back. We could guess that there would be an addition to the eggs. As a a well-behaved hunter Klaus shared the prey with Klaara which the video cut shows.

In the evening, a little past six o’clock …

Tawny owl    Kodukakk      Strix aluco

When it is time for Klaara to set out on her usual ”evening adventure” then today she sits in the nest and for a moment the egg too is visible which Shanta has recorded in the video too.
