The second osprey chick was hatched in the evening of June 5th

On the night to June 7th the most recently hatched chick probably died; the cause regrettably remains unknown.

Buzzard       Hiireviu       Buteo buteo

For some days now the microphone at the buzzard nest camera has not been working. On Friday it was taken down; there are no repair facilities in the forest. Hopefully it will be in working order next week.

Germander speedwell

Germander speed well     Külmamailane        Veronica chamaedrys

One of our common plants at forest verges, fields, meadows but also in yards where they should be allowed to expand in the lawn.

Each of the germander speedwell’s  a little flat sky blue flowers with slightly darker streaks is open for only 24 hours, but the plant flowers for weeks because new flowers open  all the time.
