Somehow I wouldn’t like to reveal the bird species in action here. For experienced birdwatchers it is easy.

But to find a definite answer identification help might be useful: LINK  (winter garden bird images and names in Estonian; translations of names here)

Roe deer          Metskits or kaber         Capreolus capreolus

The snow cover is thick and has become layered from the intermediate thaws;  layers of ice have remained in the snow. The snowfall and thaw at the weekend do not make the life of roe deer easier. The ice layers already damage their legs. It takes time and energy to get to the food and a sleeping place for the night must be dug out down to the ground – otherwise the deer may get pneumonia.
